Overclocking On H97 With MSI

MadShadow · Jun 4, 2014

MSI has proven that Devil's Canyon CPUs can overclock on H97, H87, and B85 chipset motherboards. This means that the Z97 chipset is no longer required for overclocking, which may be especially appealing to those on a budget.

The screenshot below depicts a Pentium G3258 in an MSI H97 Guard-Pro motherboard being overclocked from 3.2 GHz to approximately 4.5 GHz.

What do you think about this, and would you rather get a non-Zx7 motherboard, if it can still overclock?

Interesting, do you have a source to verify this?

Also, does this apply to all devils canyon cpus or just the Pentium?

I really doubt it. First ASUS gets Devils Canyon working on Z87, now MSI gets it working on H and B chipsets... Intel will not be happy

Suddenly that cheap unlocked pentium seems like it would be a laugh for some overclocking fun, especially on one of these cheaper boards... hmmm.

Yeah, could be a nice project, especially with a custom loop.

But you will use a Z97 board, right? Or not?

Whatever gives me the support for some high clocks and doesn't have anything to do with ROG. :3

Ah, so undecided? Should be an interesting build, then.

these overclockable pentiums are reminding me of i3 550's
