Are h87 mobo's cabable of overclocking?

Yes they are, but you can only overclock the CPU and GPU, but if you also want to overclock the RAM then you need the z87 chipset.

No you will need Z87 for CPU overclock and the CPU has to by a "K" version!

H87 does not overclock CPU!

That motherboard doesn't support it but some motherboards do support overclocking that have the H87 chipset.
