Does Tier Two: High end motherboards give me 4.5ghz?(only focus on mobo and not lottery or cooling)

Nothing guarantees 4.5ghz as said in other thread. Having all the right parts helps a lot but if you are unlucky with cpu you get it may not be possible. How high you can OC depends a lot on how lucky you are with your cpu

asrock extreme 4 and MSI's SLI krait edition are good choices from that tier

even if you get a good mobo , if you dont have efficient cooling you cant hit your 4.5ghz OC target

depends on your vcore. i would say tier three limit is 1.30v otherwise you will try the motherboard vrms and mosfets over time. tier 2 should be able to handle 1.35v, but you will need something better than a dual 140mm phanteks/noctua or h100i. tier 1 should safely handle 1.40v all day but you will need a real 240mm copper rad with a nice pump and fans if you want to run that all day.

THE GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SOC-FORCE IS YOUR BEST BET FOR THE 4.5GHZ OVERCLOCK.
