ASRock enables CPU overclocking on H87, B85 motherboards

I haven't seen this posted yet. I first saw it on Toms.

The first ASRock motherboard with this feature is the Fatal1ty H87 Performance, but Non-Z OC will be implemented on all of the firm's H87 and B85 models. That's the plan, anyway. ASRock concedes that, because Non-Z OC is dependent on Intel CPUs, chipsets, and firmware, its future availability can't be guaranteed. Intel could probably close whatever loophole ASRock has found.

Sucks that you don't have as many fine tweaks as Z87 but the mere fact that you can overclock is pretty neat.

Wow, that is impressive that not only is that a non z87 board, but that it can handle Haswell @ 4.8Ghz under a Prime95 load @ 1.3V..While that seems like an excellent to golden cpu, that is no small feat for the MB!

If only they could find a way to o/c non-K series cpus..
