Can a h81 or b85 overclock i5 4690k

[Pssingh]

Hi i am  planing to build a pc and i was wondering if a h81 or b85 motherboard supports overclocking the intel i5 4690k. i heard somewhere that you need a z97 motherboard to overclock that cpu. is that true i am on a budget and the z97 is a little more expensive so  i was wondering if a h81 or b85 motherboard would do the job 

also what is the difference between the chipsets.

No, only a Z97 can overclock

[thekeemo]

B85 and some H81

but with H81 you have to update the bios to even get it to work

[Clear17Mud]

whats your budget? There are some cheaper z97 boards ($75)

my budget on a motherboard is cheap as possible i am already going over my budget without the cost of a motherboard so i am looking for one that can use my cpu properly doesnt cause bottlenecks and can overclock

you can after updating the bios 

 

I am 100% sure that you are incorrect.

 

Are you sure?

you can after updating the bios 

so i i buy this motherboard: http://www.ncix.com/detail/msi-h81-e33-matx-lga1150-h81-38-108173-1257.htm?affiliateid=7474144

and update the bios i can use and overclock my cpu 

[thekeemo]

I am 100% sure that you are incorrect.

 

Are you sure?

if its msi gigabyte or asus 100%

[Comessy]

some H81 I cant guarantee that one will work

also with H81 you need to update the bios beforehand

[thekeemo]

How do you do it?

do what?

[Pssingh]

dude i am ordering my parts right now can i trust u 

[thekeemo]

dude i am ordering my parts right now can i trust u 

if its b85 its garunteed h81 its not

[Comessy]

do what?

 

Overclock on a B85

[thekeemo]

Overclock on a B85

1. Update bios

2. Same as any other board

[Clear17Mud]

Im pretty sure only a g3258 can overclock on a non z series motherboard, or at least that's what I have read. Thats why I am getting a z97 board for my g3258.

See the user manuals. At least some Asrock H81 motherboards for example, can oc unlocked (K) cpu - see OC Tweaker BIOS Screen in user manual. I believe Asus H81 motherboards are also able to overclock unlocked cpu - AI Tweaker BIOS pages.

 

Keep in mind that these motherboards are not designed for overclocking and may not have sufficient power regulation and distribution for good stable overclocks.
