So, in theory a z series mobo is overclockable, whatever the maker, but msi, and others presumably, have separate separate series called gaming or overclocking. I presuming this means, that, although all z series can be overclocked, the oc series is even better for oc.
I want to oc, but not fanatically. If I can increase my 4670k clock speed from 3.8 ghz turbo to, say, 4.3ghz, I'll be happy. Will an asus z97 a, or a msi pc mate be enough for that, or will I need, say, an asrock extreme6 or an asus z97 pro?
Because if the asus z97 a is enough, I'll save thirty quid and get that.
Or if someone can tell me that the cheaper asus or msi has inferior capacitors etc, for definite, then I'll get the superior board.
Any replies gratefully received.
