Asus Motherboards - P8H77-M vs GIGABYTE G1 Sniper B5 which one is good for overclocking ang gaming?I intend to use i5 4570 cpu

Novuake · Apr 25, 2014

The I5 4570 is a socket 1150 CPU. The Asus P8H77-M is not compatible with it since its 1155 socket. So may as well go for the Gigabyte then.

oh sorry...i didnt see that asus board was 1155..what about Asus Motherboards - Z87-K

get a i5-4670k if you want to overclock

Novuake · Apr 25, 2014

That Z87-K is MUCH better than the Gigabyte, but should be a lot more too. It would be pointless to get the Z78-K if you do not plan on getting 4670K and overclocking it since that is what the Z87 boards are made for.

I would go with http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz87xud4h
it comes with a 4 year warranty, since it's a flagship mid-high end mobo made to overclock plus comes woth software which you can use to overclock CPU, RAM and even the GPU

Never overclock CPUs or RAM with software.

That Gigabyte board is RIDICULOUSLY expensive.
The Z87-K will overclock just as well.

EdwardElric · Apr 25, 2014

I meant to check their stability, £91 for the Z87-k £125 for the UD4H + the value in quality komponents and keeping the mobo for future builds well worth the money. Novuake whats your opinion on the UD4H if you think it's overpriced?

Novuake · Apr 25, 2014

Features/quality is similar to boards of much less cost. Like the Asrock Extreme 6.

if there is K in the end of a processor or motherboard name mean that they can be overclocked?and others which are without k cannot be overclocked?

yakamaster · Apr 25, 2014

And what is turbo frequency?isnt it overclocking?

Novuake · Apr 25, 2014

Turbo is an automatic clock speed increase that Intel I5 or I7 CPUs have. This is not concidered overclocking and is done without any intervention from the user.

ONLY motherboards that have Z87 chipsets( this will usually be found in the name ) adn CPUs that have the "K" at the end can be overclocked.

I5 4670k how futher can this cpu be overclocked?

Novuake · Apr 25, 2014

Every chip is different and it depends on a lot on your cooling and mobo.

Most people get at least 4.4GHz out of theirs with decent aftermarket cooling.
