Long time reader first time poster!
For my first gaming build I recently ordered the Asrock H77m micro atx motherboard for use with a i5-3470 CPU and a Gigabyte 7950 GPU. Seeing as the 7950 really comes to shine at overclocked rates I obviously want to overclock it. Nothing too wild (Within reason with the GPUs stock cooling).
I know the h77m doesn't support CPU overclocking, but I have not been able to find anything about GPU overclocking. So my question is will I be able to overclock the GPU (even slightly ) with this mobo or should I get a refund from newegg and invest another $30 for the Z77M set.
Again its my first build so both options could be ridiculous, if this is the case please suggest another cheap(er) quality mobo that will suit my needs in terms of GPU overclocking. Again I have no plans to overclock the CPU, just the GPU. Any feedback would be fantastic, thank you!
