Chip-set Question

Go to solution Solved by Drown,

It's "M" for m-ATX, which is a smaller form factor than the "common" ATX. It's still good for overclocking. :)

So as I was surfing the almighty World Wide Web, I found out that you can ONLY OC on a few H87, B85, and Z87, But I found a Z87M motherboard, what does the m stand for? I can't find anything to tell me what it means. And should I be able to OC on it? I will be using this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128599, my H100i will be put on the 4670k for overclocking.

I thought it was but was unsure what the m stood for. Thank you!
