overclocked bundle - change to matx

[ihmedia]

I purchases this overclocked bundle a couple of years ago from overclockers.

"ReFlex Gigabyte Z97" Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.2GHz Configurable Gaming Bundle BU-001-OG

It has this ram. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...hannel-kit-tlyed38g1600hc9dc01-my-044-tg.html

I need a MATX system now. Could i get a MATX board and port the processor and ram and apply an overclock, what would be a suitable board?


Or is all that likely to cause problems and i would be be best to get a new overclocked bundle?

Overclocks are usally motherboard specific so you could get a matx motherboard but you would have to overclock yourself. I would make a copy of the bios settings and try to overclock.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

You are going to be stuck with whatever motherboards are left in stock and the choice isn't that great now. Saying that, just about any Z87/Z97 m-atx board should manage 4.2Ghz because that's just a light overclock. You should be looking at the greater potential of that 4690k and be aiming for 4.5-4.6Ghz.
