Overclocking on non overclock board? 4790K

[BipolarCamel]

Hey guys I've maxed out my budget to the dollar and was wondering if I would be able to squeeze out some extra performance from my i5 4670K with a motherboard that does not support overclocking (Gigabyte B85M-D2V)? And if I can how much would I be able to get out of it?

 

Full system specs (haven't bought yet):

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780Ti

RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz

MOBO: Gigabyte B85M-D2V MicroATX

PSU: Antec VP-600P

Nope the only CPU you can overclock with a non Z motherboard is the Pentium G3258

Dang, not even 0.0000001 Mhz?

I did not know this. I thought I needed a Z board.

Is it only BCLK or can you use the multiplier?

Praise. Makes the build for a friend a lot easier. Z97 boards are tough to find at decent prices.

Wait, I wouldn't recommend the G3258 even for a budget build, unless you are able to find it for a steal.....

Plus, all she's doing is some school work and maybe some Starcraft. Gonna push that chip to 4.6-4.7 and leave it be.

Late reply. And yes you can oc on that board but it is very limited and not really recommended. I oc'd my 4690k on a ASUS b85m-e to 4.2 with 1,23V (could be that i was not lucky but i think that this is because of the mobo) I was not able to take it to 4,3 because it changes the bios settings to individual cores and sets up them as follows: 43 42 41 41. 

I'm a noob at overclocking so i might have done somenthing wrong but i'm at stable 4,2.

 

You need a specific bios version to be able to oc. (I needed 2001 for example). Do some research on what version had this feature before intel patched it.
