OverClocking mobo

Does the asus z97-p support overclocking?

[Lotus]

Without even looking it up, I can say yes. z97 chipset boards support overclocking.

 

edit: the other question is, does your CPU support overclocking? Is it a k-series CPU?

yep i going to be using the i5-4690k

that board basicly supports overclocking, but i would not advice to push it to far.

What on earth are you talking about?  Don't comment on Intel because you clearly know nothing.

 

@BabaDaMonkey

 

Yes, any "Z" series motherboard allows for overclocking, and the quality of overclock you get is going to come down to the luck of the silicon lottery and the chip that you get.  I would also like to add, nice choice with Asus, they are the best motherboard manufacturer in my opinion.  Just be aware that this motherboard doesn't support multi-GPU setups, so going Xfire or SLI is not going to be possible with this motherboard later on down the road if that is something you are interested in.

i know more then you will ever know lol.

Vreg design of that board, is not beefy enough, to keep an overclock 4.8GHz stable 24/7 and reliable.

 

just STFU en do your home work

 

Why do you think that board is cheap?

right because they have cheaped out on the vreg design, makes kinda sense.

I did not say that it wont overclock far, i just said i would not recommend to push it to far.

Simply because the Vreg design is not good enough for that.

You have no clue.  Just none what so ever.

 

Long time overdue, welcome to ignore.

I think he meant cos you said it won't go that high... and you mean 4.8Ghz 'fair enough', where as 'high to most people is 4.4+, so saying it can't go far, people think you mean up to the usual 4.5Ghz, which is easier than the 4.8Ghz obviously.

 

Obvious Miscommunication

[Faceman]

The quality of the overclock you get, and the voltage regulation is all done on the chip for Intel processors since Haswell.

 

You will get the same overclock on the least expensive Z motherboard as the most expensive Z motherboard, it all comes down the chip.

i never said that it wont go that high, i just said i would not recommend to push it that high.

Because again the vreg design not decent enough to an high overclock stable. and reliable.

Offcourse i know that the voltage regulation is inside the chip.

But you still need a decent enough power delivery on the board to keep the power stable.

at least a 6 powerphase  4 powerphase wil also hold an extreme overclock if its doubled. But i know for sure the Asus Z97-P is not doubled.

The Msi Gaming 7 for example, is stated as a 12 powerphase board, but this isnt true.

The board is only a 6 powerphase board Msi uses doubles.

6 powerphases is totaly fine for overclocking.

 

However 4 powerphases un-doubled, i would not recommend to overclock to far on that.

Because they will get damm hot.

That every Z97 board supports overclocking sure, but this does not mean that you get an reliable stable overclock from the cheapest board you could find, against one of the more expensive ones.

Boards are cheap, because the vreg design is from les quality.

 

Why do you think that Asus has used doublers on theire Ranger boards?

The big diffrence between the Hero and the ranger is that the Hero is a true 8 phase board, on which the Ranger is only a real 4 phase board.

Rog stands for reliable overclocking, so Asus had to figure something to guarantee it on the Ranger.4

 

Again do your homework @Faceman

 

Something for your homework:

It does not matter if you reach it or not, that still depends on chip allot.

it does matter how stable and reliable it is.

And that depends ALSO on the mobo´s vreg design.

 

like i said the Asus Z97-p does support overclocking, however it only has a 4 powerphase not doubled, so i would not advice you, to push it to high.

you dont wanne fry your cpu, because of a board that wasnt capable.

 

I dont say that the Asus Z97-p is a bad board.

But the board is definitely not desigend for extreme overclocking.

You can be ignorant as much you want, but this are straight facts.

 

I just dont want topic starter to get dissapointed on overclocking experiance, with a mobo that is not fully capable for it decently.

 

Thats my whole point.

 

Never ever cheap out too much on a motherboard if you wanne go into overclocking.

i cannot say this enough, no matter AMD or Intel, if you want overclocking, dont cheap out too much!

Because you will get dissapointed.

 

In the end its just an advice, Topic starter can do with it what he wants.
