Intel cpu overclock help

[icemaker]

AOA,
I'm currently using Intel G3258 Pentium processor overclocked to 4.5 Ghz on Asus H81m-c mother board, giving blazing performance. My question is, if i want to upgrade to i5 in future will this motherboard be able to overlock i5 processor to decent speed if yes how far it can go? ( using cooler master evo).

It will be able to overclock and i5 but how far can only be asked by a person who has actually overclocked an i5 using this board. I would say if it can overclock your pentium G3258 to that speed then you will be able to get a decent overclock out of it on the i5 atleast 800 Mhz - 1000 Mhz but this is just a speculation.

ASUS Adds Overclocking for H97, H87, B85 and H81 Series Motherboards

I saw a few reviews of ocing 4790k with H97 etc... still i can't confirm whether your mb. can oc i5 or not .... even if it overclocks, it has very simple power phase and circuity so probably it may not oc an i5 more than 00~300 mhz with risks of overheating etc....... so better not to oc an i5 on this mb.

also note that 4th gen i5 is not very much suitable for ocing even with high end boards ... already turbo boost of i5 around 3.8~3.9 GHz, .... it may reach around 4.5~4.7 GHz very hardly and with burning temps ...

u will loose ur hardware if u r going to play with i5 on this board .. even good quality motherboards failed deliver best with haswell .. haswell is performance based chip.. u will not get a good overclocking like sandy bridge and ivy bridge
