Ordered a 4670k and motherboard that won't overclock - lonnieh - 12-01-2013
Sorry to bother! I ordered a 4670k and mistakenly picked out a motherboard with a B85 chipset. At the time I was not aware that it was incapable of overclocking. One of the reasons I wanted to upgrade from an A10-5800k was to be able to enjoy TLoZ: SS, and possibly SMG. Does anyone here have this CPU running at stock speeds (3.4, 3.8 turbo) that can chime in and speak of it's performance on those titles? If it matters the GPU is a R9 270X variant.

Send the Motherboard back and order a Z87 one...

Up to the point in SMG that I've got to, you don't need to overclock. It may well get more demanding further on, but if you can't manage to return it, you could probably muddle through without an OC.

I second, order a Z87 one ! Like the Asus Z87-Plus or asrock z87 extreme.

No RAID on it either, so I guess it has to go back. Thanks for all the feedback!
