OC’ing at a glance:Â Â If there’s anything MSI banks on all its motherboards, its either you overclock it yourself or you use their OC Genie tool. One thing is for certain though, MSI wants all its motherboards to have a degree of overclocking that will place their product on the higher end of the spectrum. The Z97I GAMING AC’s 6-phase VRM is more than enough for Haswell processors to reach a good 4.5+ OC with decent voltage provided your cooling solution can handle it or you got a good chip in your possession. The Z97I GAMING AC manages to hang with the bigger boards in this test and edges out the other ITX board in the list.
