Pentium Anniversary Help

Go to solution Solved by Si3Rra_7,

i've seen people use this https://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-h81mp33

you can always get adapters from 2.0 to 3.0 , i use one since i have a h61 board , don't use flash drives much , and when i use them i plug them on usb3 on the back

As the X-Mas is here I want to get a few gaming systems for my some people. I want to build 5-7 using G3258's but the problem is I need boards that can overclock. I don't got enough Moolah to buy Z97 boards for everyone so i'm opting out for the either the 

Asus H81M-E(https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-h81me_

OR

Asus B85M-G R2.0(https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#c=88,92&qq=1&m=8)

Now the problem is that the H81 is cheaper but no USB 3.0 front headers but the B85 board is more expensive (by about $30) but does have front panel USB 3.0 headers.

If anyone can find a motherboard with overclocking in between 40-60 dollars and has USB 3.0 front headers.

Any help is appreciated.

 

(Also what do you think is better the B85 or the H81 board?

Top link doesnt seem to work, Just remember that not every CPU overclocks the same. They are all different and may not be stable/more stable than others.

You see I'm just looking for a board that has overclocking and has USB 3.0 Headers and is cheap
