MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate Motherboard good for overclocking?

SugarFreeBrowny · Jun 23, 2013

Hello all! As the title says, I am on a budget build for a system in which I will be overclocking. I plan to take the new Haswell i7-4770k from 3.5Ghz to 4.2-4.3Ghz maybe a little more if I can be safe about it. However, I cannot seem to find any reviews on this MOBO and it's overclocking ability. Can anyone help me out?

Thank you very much!

I would have my doubts about OC-ability, MSI tends to inflate the abilities of it's mobos. Think you'd be happier with a Asus, ASRock or GigaByte

My vote also goes to Asus or Gigabyte, altough reports of the MSI z87 boards do look good.

Are you planning to do any rendering or such, or just gaming? If you only game, grab the 4670k instead and spend for a better board ( Z87 G41 won;t do OC-ing well ). And if you're from the US, you can take advantage of the great deal on Newegg right now and grab a good motherboard at a low price: http://promotions.newegg.com/intel/13-2602/index.html ( 80$ off for i5 + mobo combo, 100$ for I7 + mobo ).

I was thinking of doing some livestreaming through twitch. I had been considering the i5-4670k.

Then you'll be just fine with the 4670k
