Hello everyone, i found great deal on this used 4690k cpu, for around 140euros,
but i need to choose between these two boards:

1:ASRock Z87 Extreme3

2.Gigabite Z87X-UD5H

Gigabyte one has 12+2+2 phase power design for the CPU, where asrock one has 8 power phases.
Does that make gigabyte one better oveclocking motherboard for 4690k?

Thank you!
 
Solution
ASrock is a very good for budget overclocking.
12 phases is generally more efficient than 8 but 8 does a bit better with OCing.
THEOROTICALLY the more power phases the better, but that's only in theory, in reality it's always a different story.
