The MSI B85-G41 motherboard comes with OC Genie 4? How does this work? I thought B85 chipsets aren't capable of CPU overclocking.. O.o

But this is regarding MSI allowing for OCing on the board. It also has the same manual for thier Z87 and H87 G-41 boards and in the manual it talks about how to manually overclock. I want to know before I purchase this because if you can't overclock then I have to go with a Z87 mobo

I'm fairly certain that Teksyndicate has a video about this, if you want to check that out.

Hmm I'm still sceptical, I guess I should just go for the Z87
