hi

Is this motherboard good for game

asus B85M-G
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B85MG/#specifications

i have i5 4670K

GTX 760

Yes it is good if matched with the right CPU and GPU which both really drive gaming performance.

 

[lucasz]

Yes but it doesn't allow for overclocking

Yes but it doesn't allow for overclocking

or this

msi B85M-E33

Which is better

 

[lucasz]

Neither allow for overclocking. You need a z87 motherboard for overclocking. But out of those two I would get the Asus

B85 chipset board is fine for a no "K" series CPU!

 

[lucasz]

Since he already has a 4670k a b85 would be a waste

Look at the AsRock Extreme4 Z87. It comes in ATX and mATX. It can be bought for $130

Missed that part (apparently 8 min old edit) and yes you are right Z87 board minimum!

msi Motherboards support OC Genie 4: Overclock in 1 Second

Meaning support overclocking

K CPU has unlocked multiplier and is easily OC on Z87 board by simply raining the multiplier in BIOS/UEFI. Using the Genie will just overclock a little bit nowhere close to the CPU potential!

 

[lucasz]

Yeah the OC Genie overclocks very minimally

thx guys

I think I'll have AsRock Extreme4 Z87M

 

[lucasz]

Excellent choice!
