Even more processor compatibility

[ozz.yyy]

Ok so i recently found a different cpu for my hackintosh. Its the intel core i5 3570k. I looked on the intel ark and it doesn't list the z87 chipset as compatible with the cpu. the board I'm using is the gigabyte z87-hd3. will the 3570k and the board work together or no? i think the sockets are the same.

oh also do h81 boards support overclocking?

No.  The 3570k is an LGA 1155 CPU.  Z87 and H81 boards are LGA 1150.  You need a Z77 chipset board to overclock a 3570k.

Yes.  But to overclock it, you'll need a P67 or Z68 or Z77 motherboard.

No.  You need an lga 1155 board for the 3570k. Any haswell cpu will work on the z87 board though.  Also,  only z and p series chipsets support overclocking
