Hi. Does this board allow overclocking? Thanks!

yes it does as long as your cpu is unlocked. This mini itx board even comes with an easy to use over clocking software from gigabyte as long as your using something better than the stock cpu cooler it'll over clock great im using the coolermaster seidon 120 water cooler and i can over clock to gigabytes stage 3 OC setting and its running at 4.7ghz on my amd a10 6800k

Yes, the Command Center bios works well for basic OC, but I have had trouble getting my 4770K stable over 4.1 GHz.

Not that great for overclocking. I'm using it with a 65w I5 CPU and it runs plenty cool. Overclocking would go beyond it's thermal rating pretty quick. I recommend one of their larger CPU coolers.

i have the card and it's great but not the watercooling kit. Have not found the need to overclock it. It runs games great.

Not sure if this works with the processor you want, however this motherboard comes with Overclocking features built into he BIOS as well as software to overclock in the OS. Im very happy wih this product compared to the same motherboard hat ASUS offers.

Great!! I never overclock because I have some sort of worry about it (I have before though and it is great!) and from by experience its perfectly fine without overclocking.

I think so. I have not been able to get mine to work as when I get in bios and set it up nothing happens. Have problem getting into bios and nothing seems to work. Think it is perhaps a bad board.

Yup. If you have no experience, it comes with some software that will automatically overclock up to 4.6GHz it for you, if you want to go higher you would have to do it manually through the software or bios.

The G.Skill modules work very well with both of my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboards. I have not attempted to over clock them, however.

Sorry I can't be of any help. I haven't attempted to overclock it, and if you researched TDP wattage, you know more about it than I do.

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.

yes, i have it running with a fx6300 as well as the 7850K apu both overclocked with no issues with voltage stability.

there are some I5 chips that overclock, they end with a K in the model number, like 4690K. So if you want to OC & use a K chip then the answer is No, not a waste. But using a standard I5 that cannot OC cuts out a big benefit of the board, overclocking, & therefore would be a waste.

Yes. It can easily be overclocked to 100hz. HOWEVER, do it at your own risk.

Yes, I've built a few using the i5-3570k and the i7-3770k. The board is really meant to use with these CPU's because the BIOS will auto detect the CPU and allow you to overclock it by sliding a "slider bar" in the BIOS, no more knowledge needed. The board is rock solid!!

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

I have this board and the 8350. It works with the latest 2 bios updates, but if you want to overclock you need to get water cooling and a 990fx. I have been able to get 4.4 stable oc, but that is not all that great for this chip, and these chips run a lot hotter than the phenoms did.
