can i overclock i5 4690k on H97 motherboard?

[Tadziunia]

Just asking is such a thing is possible. Am just curiuous for example it's possible to overclock g3258 on h81 motherboard on stock cooler up to 4ghz with no problem, my friend did such overclock and on internet there are videos about it, so what about h97 and i5 4690k ?

no you cant OC on the H97 board

 

even there are OC features, your OC is really limited

[Thony]

U can OC but it is risky and limited. 

 

Not sure if u already bought this combo (bad decisio) or u are just curious.

 

I dont advice it.

I saw some old news on internet that it's possible to overclock intel g3258,i5 4690k and i7 4790k on h97,h87,b85,h81 motherboards from ASUS, so dunno, am just curious about that

U can even OC intel non-k chip. People just try things out.  It doesnt mean everyone should do it

Yeah heard about that, it's great that you can take z170 motherboard and take some i3 6100 and overclock it to 4.4-4.6ghz , it's great for us ;D but bad for intel ;D

It Should not be possible since H97 chipsets aren't chipsets aren't meant to OC

I've heard of thePentium G3258 being overclocked on H mobos.

yes it's possible, my three friends got g3258+h81m-e33 msi they got stable overclock at 4ghz wtih stock cooler. So am sure it's possible.

I've heard the same, but I think it's only very specific models. I wouldn't recommending planning a build around it unless you're certain it's going to work.

For any interested, here's an overclocking article about the G3258 on Tom's Hardware that used an H81 board: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pentium-g3258-b81-cheap-overclocking,3888.html

That's for Skylake, and it's a totally different matter than with Haswell. Don't mix the 2 up.

Afaik, you can only (realistically) OC the Pentium, not the i5 or i7. And that only on some non Z motherboards, not all of them.

 

Totally not recommended in the slightest.
