Out of these 2 particular boards, which will overclock better? They currently cost the same. The Z87 D3HP has better specifications however I need to know about the Overclocking abilities

the CPU will depend on the chipset, but the price differnce between the 4670k an 90K is qutie abit right now.
 


So if it is not much for the upgrade to a 4690K then get a Z97.

But that's the thing, the Z87 Chipset at the same price has alot more stuff on it that I want, what CPU I have out of the 2, it doesn't matter to me. I only one a mild Overclock.

I never asked what CPU I should buy, I want to know which motherboard out of those 2 will be better for OCing the same CPU.
 


If you feel entice to get the Z87 because if it's features then I wouldn't stop you but don't forget the BIOS update. The update isn't uncommon though so don't feel ashamed.

If I buy the Z87 Chipset I'll buy the 4670k to get around the bios problem.
