Hello!
I am looking for new mobo for i5 4690k, i will cool it with corsair h90.
Apart from this i got hd 7950 and 8gb corsair 1600mhz ram.
I will want to overclock it (cpu) slightly, without drastic voltage tweaks.
But. I don't need any 'fireworks' from this mobo. I don't need any fancy audio codec (even none will do), i don't plan any dual gpu configurations and i don't use LAN.
Only board i found so far is MSI z97 g55.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Ah, forgot. I'd say 200$.
Anything cheaper than msi z97 gaming 5 will be good, anything cheaper than z97 gaming 3 will be great.

Nothing to be afraid in terms of OC with this mobo?

Nope, it should overclock fine :)  You said you only wanted to overclock the CPU slightly anyway although I'm pretty confident this will reach a rather high overclock. Remember though, overclocking isn't completely dependent on the motherboard, it depends if you get a lucky CPU, also.

@Leemon
I'm aware of it

These mobos will do fine but so far g55 is value lider for me, other words - relatively too expensive

How about msi z97 g43? As far as i understand its g55 without crossfire.

Yeah that'll be fine, it's like a barebones z97 board so it'll suit your needs

The G55 will give you better overclocks.
