ASUS Z97-A (LGA 1150) Motherboard Review

Overclocking


A new chipset doesn’t bring anything new to overclocking because we’re still CPU limited and we still have the same CPUs as Z87 – that’s until Haswell Refresh K series CPUs arrive a bit later on in Q3 this year. That said the ASUS Z97-A’s 8 phase CPU VRM was easily capable of reaching 4.8GHz which is the maximum our chip can achieve before it reaches thermal throttling on our H100i. The overclock we dialled in used 1.3 volts but we could go as low as 1.27 volts on this board suggesting the quality of the VRM is high.
