Hey,

I know that there was something with the B85 and H87 mobo about an update and you could OC the K-models.
Is it still possible? And how about the 97 series?

I'm asking in order to get a cheap mobo for the Intel Pentium G3258 Haswell and I wanna OC that one a bit.

I know that Asrock has a OC Tuning Program for their B85 mobo, but I prefer to do it in BIOS.

Have you tried this out yet pal? Reason I ask is, last thing I wanna do is buy the pentium, get my cooler and a B85 board to find out it doesn't work.

Would overclocking work with the B85 Vanguard/B85 PRO GAMER?
