I have the board, and the 4690k, I've had mine at 4.4 for 2 years zero issues. Took it as high as 4.6 but the temps....not sure if it was power or cooling related but I dropped it down to the current settings and it barely runs hotter than stock.

Where i live the Z97-P is 83€, whereas the Z97-A is 160€. I have the possibility to get:

Asus Z97-P (83€)
Asus Z97-E (113€)
MSI Z97S SLI Krait (120€)

There are also some ASRock and Gigabyte between but i've heard their not good for OC.
