GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 or G1. Sniper Z97 or Asus Z97-A for overclocking

ImperialJoe · Jun 28, 2014

I want to overclock my future I7-4970K, hopefully even hitting 5.0GHz. Which motherboard would be better for this, the GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 or the G1. Sniper Z97 or the Asus Z97-A? To my understanding all other motherboards at this price range aren't as good.

4790K* The Gaming 5 does have good sound though. Probably the Asus? They are all almost the same though

So it just depends on what colour you like!

They will all be the same, unless you get the really expensive motherboards or gigabytes dedicated overclocking motherboard it won't make a difference.

Yep, so just go for the cheapest or the one you think looks the best!

OK, thanks! Will something like 5.0GHz will be possible with these boards?

If you have very good cooling then sure, why not?

OK, great! Thanks for the help.

No problem!
