Was recently given a older pc with an i7-870 with a supermicro MB. I would like to try overclocking and messing around with it but the MB is not capable. I have been having a hard time finding a 1156 MB that is overclockable.

Any suggestions?
 
Well, you're looking for a non-OEM P55 board (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc -- not Dell, HP, Intel, Supermicro, etc.). They're available but not cheap on the used market (> $100); there's a glut of the server/OEM 1156 boards but they won't allow overclocking.

Your best bet might be the buy/sell forums on here or other hardware forums -- post a WTB and see what you get.
