Hey guys.
Do you know if the Gigabyte Z87X-OC will support the I7 4790k Devils Canyon or will i need to go to a Z97 1150 board?

Cool thanks...

I suppose next question is it worth going from an i7 4770k to a i74790k? Considering i got a naff draw in the CPU OC lottery.....

How naff? needs to be incapable of any overclock at all to be worth it.

it needs high V's to get it to OC, 4300mhz at 1.392v

You have read the Z87 overclock guide done by Sin0822? and increased the Vrin and set LLC to Extreme etc?

koldphuzion · 18 Jun 2014 at 19:32

er...... nope. I wasn't aware it existed tbh.
