There is no way to tell the max stable OC by just looking at the specs. Each cpu will overclock differently they call it "the silicon lottery". Also the 970 chipset isn't the best overclocker due to the weaker VRMs, compared to the 990x and 990fx chipsets.

So that means if i bought a 990fx board while going unlucky with the "Silicon lottery thing" then the difference squander on a 990fx board will be of no use?

That is a possible outcome. Its also likely you could never achieve the CPU's max overclock with a 970 chipset.
