No, that motherboard doesn't allow CPU overclocking at all. You need a Z75 or Z77 motherboard to overclock an Ivy Bridge Core i5.

No, to overclock ivy bridge chips you will need a Z77 chipset and a K series processor.

The best you can do with an H77 and/or a non-k series chip is force the chip to run in turbo mode all the time.

k....how bout ASUS P8Z77-M, Onboard Video DVI & HDMI, X-fire, SATA3, USB3.0, GB LAN

thats a few bucks more but z77

Yes, that will let you overclock one these two chips. i5-3570k or i7-3770k

Eximo :

It will also allow overclocking of Core i5s and i7s without the K, but that's limited to 400 MHz.

a micro atx board is ok for a mid tower build?

Sakkura · Jul 13, 2013

vrgadin :

Yeah, as long as you don't mind it looking a bit lost inside the big case. Almost all ATX mid-towers have motherboard header threads for mATX boards (but do check before buying to be on the safe side).
