well i just got my http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4147

and i was wondering its a good mobo or not? and ill be able to overclock thing with it? thanks by the way

Wouldn't have been my first choice that's for sure, espeically with that blue pcb.

Yeah it's not bad, but there are better ones for a little bit more money. Yes the Z77 chipset you bought will be able to overclock, but you will need a K series CPU.

I don't think that board actually supports voltage control.

I don't think this can achieve significant overclocks because of having not so many power phases.

It is a 4 phase with decent MOSFETs. If you can achieve a 5GHz overclock on an Asrock extreme4, you could do it on this if it had voltage control.

I would find a little bit more money for the GA-Z77-UD3H. Or I would wait for the Z87-UD3H.

Thanks for the info! :) Never knew that the extreme4 had 4 phases and could achieve a 5ghz overclock.

For some reason I've seen it listed as 8 phases, even though it's 4 phases with 8 high side MOSFETs in dual output. It also has pathetic quality MOSFETs. 

 

I've heard of guys getting past 5GHz with an MSI GD45, which is a straight up 4 phase PWM with terrible MOSFETs.
