Overclocking on Asus H87M Plus

[Maxim Levy]

Hi Guys,

Recently got an Asus H87M plus board with a i7 4770k. I've heard such a board is not safe for an OC even with a good aftermarker CPU cooler. Is this true ?

Just wanted to push the the CPU from 3.4 to 3.9/4Ghz for that little extra push in video rendering

Cheers,

Maxim

It is true. This motherboard uses the chipset Intel H87, wich do not support overclocking: http://ark.intel.com/products/75004/intel-dh82h87-pch

A recent BIOS update allows for it on unlocked processors, ive just read its not safe for the board.
