Can I overclock my CPU with this Motherboard?

Kris Shirley · Sep 6, 2014

Hello everyone I just bought this motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157329

and I was wondering if I could overclock my CPU using this motherboard. The CPU i'm using is an Intel i5 2500k

any insight is much appreciated

No you can't. OCing requires a Z MoBo and your MoBo has a locked multiplier, you've paired the wrong MoBo with an unlocked CPU.

oh no don't tell me that.... lol well... will it at least still boost to 3.7 up from 3.3 with the turbo boost?

Yes Turbo boost is on-die tech and it'll do it when needed, MoBo doesn't matter here
