Help on motherboard

[Greantea]

Hello , how do i determine if motherboard support overclock?
Is it the chipset? Ex h97, z97 etc
And is the motherboard and cpu cooler the only part important on overclocking cpus?
Thanks!

Generally a z in the motherboard name will state it's able to overclock (Although I could be totally making this up).
Giving us your motherboard model will let us determine a definite yes or no.

And no CPU cooler and Mobo are some really important factors, but so is the PSU both wattage and the quality, as well as a case with good airflow if you go air cooling. And let's not forget time to perfect a good overclock.

high end chipset with a X or Z
cpu with a K

Sounds like looking at the 1150 socket so a Z97 (or could go Z87 mobo, K model CPU, the PSU is primarily determined by the GPU or GPUs you will be using and if OCing will be best off with DRAM 1866 or better
