Posted September 26, 2014 · Original PosterOP I'm sorry Gigabyte, but it looks like your eSupport needs a little support._____________________________________________________________________________________________ I contacted Gigabyte's tech support about a motherboard. I wanted to know if their GA-H97N-WIFI board supports CPU mult. overclocking because Asus and ASRock has (or had) this feature on their H-series boards. Here is an image of the conversation: Too bad they can't answer a simple question. 60FPS Microwave Intel Core i5-4670K | Galax GTX 970 EXOC | ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac | Team Elite 8GB 1600MHz | Gelid Black Edition | Samsung slowdown + WD Blue 1TB x2 | Cooler Master V550 | Corsair K65 + Logitech G100s | MasterCase Pro 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2014 The answer is no, you need a Z87 or Z97 chipset to overclock a 4670K by multiplier. Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 26, 2014 · Original PosterOP I suppose Asus and ASRock H boards on the latest bios can also no longer OC via multiplier because Intel got mad and disabled the exploit? you could've asked us. we could have told you no. I was abou to do so but I decided i would get more definite answers straight from them 60FPS Microwave Intel Core i5-4670K | Galax GTX 970 EXOC | ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac | Team Elite 8GB 1600MHz | Gelid Black Edition | Samsung slowdown + WD Blue 1TB x2 | Cooler Master V550 | Corsair K65 + Logitech G100s | MasterCase Pro 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 26, 2014 I thought those H budget boards that support overclocking was primarily for the Pentium G3258 and not the other chips. Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2014 I suppose Asus and ASRock H boards on the latest bios can also no longer OC via multiplier because Intel got mad and disabled the exploit? not from what I've heard. I know Intel got pretty pissed off, but I don't think they ever did anything about it. although I could be wrong.

Posted September 26, 2014 That's Gigabyte for you. They love to f*ck people over just like they did with this: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/197015-correction-about-linus-gigabyte-bxi5g-760-micro-pc-video/ "In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari ‘a Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'." - Vladimir Putin. Other governments/leaders should take a leaf out of Vlad's book. Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2014 · Original PosterOP I was actually darn frustrated and amazed at the same time. I dont know if I should get mad or just laugh at their failure. I kept it professional in hopes of squeezing the damn answer from them 60FPS Microwave Intel Core i5-4670K | Galax GTX 970 EXOC | ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac | Team Elite 8GB 1600MHz | Gelid Black Edition | Samsung slowdown + WD Blue 1TB x2 | Cooler Master V550 | Corsair K65 + Logitech G100s | MasterCase Pro 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 26, 2014 · Original PosterOP not from what I've heard. I know Intel got pretty pissed off, but I don't think they ever did anything about it. although I could be wrong. From what i've read, Intel made a "microcode" that was going to fix the exploit and forced the manufacturers to include it in thier new bios revs Since its betterto ask the community for answers, are the asrock and asus h-series boards still capable of multiplier OC? 60FPS Microwave Intel Core i5-4670K | Galax GTX 970 EXOC | ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac | Team Elite 8GB 1600MHz | Gelid Black Edition | Samsung slowdown + WD Blue 1TB x2 | Cooler Master V550 | Corsair K65 + Logitech G100s | MasterCase Pro 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2014 · Original PosterOP OP updated with reply from the stupid tech support. Answer is a bit better but still unacceptable. They cannot answer a YES or NO question. Although I know I need a Z series board for OCing, still...

Posted September 29, 2014 This is MSI. Of course, they would fuck up support.
