Overclocking ITX

   There probably isn't space on the motherboard for 12 real phases, but six real phases with a doubling scheme should be doable. Mounts for the VRM would also require space that there really isn't a lot of, but I think the biggest reason for the absence of such boards is that there isn't a big enough market for proper enthusiast models to justify the design and production costs.

	Is it even remotely possible to get an ITX board for overclocking z370 or the future z470? Something with 12 phases? Mounts for a water cooling block for the VRMs as well as a separate block from the CPU? Side question just how much wattage can be pushed through the VRMs on the Fatal1ty z370 Gaming-ITX/ac, if they are water cooled? Granted I might have to try to level things out somehow and use TIM instead of thermal pads.
