You don't need a Z series motherboard to overclock the pentiuum IIRC

The 'Z' motherboards support overclocking along with X99, on 'H' and 'B' motherboards you can't overclock.

You don't, GA-H81M-H can overclock it for example, there is none in the stores i'm looking in unfortunately.

That's how it is normally, I know this.

 

but for the Pentium specifically, intel made the H and B series compatible with overclocking.

Last time i bought a motherboard i bought the wrong revision, didn't even say on the website i bought it on which revision it was. Could you tell me the exact model of the h / b series you would suggest?
