H77N and K-Processor?

[sweetsour]

Hi, just got myself a H77N.

Now I was checking out the UEFI when I found the option to "set x Multiplicator for an unlocked CPU".
Does that mean I can use the Board with any K-Processor? i.e. 2500K
I thought only Z77N supports K-Processors?


I've read somewhere else that Z77N can adjust voltage. But I can also overclock without tuning voltage right? What is the limit?

Let's assume I use H77N with 2500K (3.3Ghz), how much OC would still be stable?


Thanks in advance!

You do not wnat to use 2500K - you want to use a 3xxxk CPU - mixing Sandy CPU and Ivy mainboard is not good idea for PC-Mac. Besides, 3xxxK cost same or less than 2xxxK so might as well match.
H77 boards with a core i 3xxxK model CPU can be OC'ed slightly by changing the Multiplier. They do not, however, allow the full range of OC settings to allow you to "push the envelope" to get highest OC values. A modest OC will be stable.
