Intel Z97 OC-motherboard LN2 review: extreme boards, extreme tests

By: Dennis Garcia | Published: Saturday, May 30, 2015

Testing systems with LN2 is usually something you do for fun but it seems HWInfo is taking things to the next level and tried to determine what motherboard is best suited for LN2 overclocking.

ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte and MSI all claim that they have the ultimate motherboard for extreme overclockers. Hardware.Info wanted to see what board is actually the best, so last year we locked Hardware.Info Pro OC members Joost ‘Rsnubje’ Verhelst and Bauke ‘Nedernakker’ Caspers in our test lab for 48 hours with a Intel Core i7 4790K “Devil’s Canyon” processor, gallons of liquid nitrogen and the motherboards that lay claim to being the best at overclocking from all four manufacturers. Their mission was to find our which of these motherboards is actually the best at overclocking and, more importantly, which motherboard is the easiest to overclock with?

The ease of overclocking is usually personal preference or based on past experences so it will be interesting to see what their conclusion will be.
