Does this motherboard support overclocking?

F2A88XN-WIFIEven for normal clock speeds, the A88x heat sink is a bit small.I put a fan running at 5 v , to blow directly on this heat sink .2400 is spec'd as O.C. and the DRAM bus voltage can be set as high as 1.9v .I clocked 1866 AMP performance series mem to 2400 using the AMP profile.and I set the DRAM bus voltage to approx 1.7 v .but it just didn't do too much extra. So, I run 1866 at 1866 .

As the previous responder said - This is a question of whether your motherboard supports this type of RAM. It has nothing to do with the type of processor you are wanting to use.

In the technical details it mentions only AMD x2 and x4... Could that limit the function of this motherboard?

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON

I would think so. I have similar clock speed in my build, and it runs it just fine. The BIOS sets the clock speed at lower than max settings by default, but you can easily max it out if need be.

Yes! Go to http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov and under support, you will find the CPU support list.

Yes it does. I used this motherboard in a build for my friend and I love it! The bios features are great. There's even a setting to unlock locked cpus (for example, the non "k" processors) for overclocking. If I had to choose any itx board under $100, it would definitely be this one.

No it is strictly LGA 1150 aka Intel Haswell motherboard, might want to look at the crosshair series of Asus ROG motherboards.

I don't know. You'll need to look up the ram speeds and type supported by your motherboard. Sorry.

It isn't listed on the support list but there is technically no reason it shouldn't. The board has solid VRM and handles high overclocks well. Those are Piledriver CPUs too. They're the same as the 8xx0 series so it should boot if you dropped it in. I'd give ASrock a call or write in to check.

This board supports up to 3000mhz DDR3. The cpu overclocking ability can vary widely. What you will be able to achieve for an overclock is determined more by the type and luck of the draw of the CPU itself as well as the CPU cooling solution used. The mainboard quality can impact this but plays a lesser role.

yes it supports ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LX/specifications/ )

It is not recommended with an H87 board. If you really want to overclock I would suggest getting a Z87 Motherboard.H87 Motherboards are for Processors that don't overclock (Example I5-4570). Z87 Motherboards are for Overclocking processors (Example I5-4670K)

Yes, yes, and yes. It does support all of that. I looked in the official manual. http://us.msi.com/service/download/manual-20911.html

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!

according to pcpartpicker dot com it is. This motherboard is built for overclocking so you would be happier with an ulocked chip but if you have an i7-3770 it would work per pcpartpicker dot com. I use this mobo with an i5-4670k and I am happy with it.
