Whats better for overclocking p67 or z77 plateform

heres my dilema, ive got p67 plateform mobo, but wondering when i upgrade to a 3770k will the p67 mobo be more difficult to overclock with and will i be limited by this chipset versus a z77 board.

Make sure to update the BIOS before putting in the Ivy chip, otherwise it wont work outright.

I think overclocking headroom will come down to the board itself, not its chipset. If all your after is a basic every-day overclock, I wouldn't worry about an old board potentially holding you back.

ive got the latest bios man-of-chalk, now just wondering what benefits id get from the z77 compared to the p67 plateform

 

[manofchalk]

The typical chipset stuff, I thought this was just related to overclocking potential.

SATAIII, USB3 internal headers, PCI Gen 3 (its all 3's!), SSD caching options, integrated graphics support. Sure there's more but that's the notable stuff.
