Best Z370 Motherboard for OC

Currently I have the Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 but need to send it to Gigabyte due to high VRM temperature. HWInfo and other monitoring software record a whooping 126 C.
It need 2 weeks before they are able to return a new one. So I plan to take this opportunity to upgrade my motherboard.

Any suggestion on the motherboard? Mainly for OC. Aesthetics is not the primary factor xD
Current Spec:
Corsair H110i (No custom water cooling)

Meshify C (Fit up to ATX size)
Thanks :)

Sadly my country doesn't provide it
Currently leaning towards the Maximus X or maybe the Asrock Gaming i7? Or maybe Taichi

I was under the impression that Asus were supposed to have pretty good VRMs.

ASrock Fatal1ty/Killer SLI should be fine

 

You don't need to waste money on a Maximus board, or anything too high end.

Yup. They are pretty high end :)
And pretty sure the oc limit goes to my CPU if i use this board. But I wanna hear more comments/recommendation b4 making my purchase. 
While researching, i also found out the very highly recommended Taichi board.
So not sure which to pick xD

Alrighty :)
Guess I will go for the Asrock. Taichi is good to go right?
Its around 100 usd cheaper in my country compared to the Maximus
Tho budget is not really an issue xD

100 dollars saved is still like 10 pizzas. Worth it IMO.

OC3D has a bunch of board reviews for Z370
