Can you overclock a Intel i7 2600k on a MSI B75MA-E33)

[worn]

Im not really a guy who knows alot about CPU's and such. So i need some help
I want a motherboard that can overclock a I7 2600k, And i had this motherboard MSI B75MA-E33 and a P67 board and im not sure if i can overclock with them.

No that board will not overclock. I would purchase the ASRock or Gigabyte Z68 or Z77 LGA 1155.

As wingman stated, it won't allow overclocking for any realistic gains.

If you can find an older Z77 board that'd be what you'd be looking for, but you'll only realistically find them used.

What about a P67 board ?

You'll want a chipset with the "Z" specification for overclocking such as Z68 or Z77

The MSI B75MA-E33 will support multiplier overclocking. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B75MA-E33.html#down-manual

The old P67 motherboard will support multiplier overclocking.

If you want to overclock your Sandy Bridge, you need a P67 motherboard. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/...-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/4

Intel changed things on the newer generations of motherboards so it is confusing.

P67 will work but if I recall correctly you cannot use the integrated GPU if you needed to from the 2600k as a result.

+ 1 P-series doesn’t support processor graphics, H-series does.
