G3258 + overclockable motherboard[budget]

Is their any motherboard around 75$ MAX on amazon that would support overclocking? specifically for the G3258.

Pretty sure at stock the Pentium G3220 has the same performance, which atm I think I will be getting. Pretty convinced on getting the unlocked version, just their is no motherboard cheap enough for my liking.

btw, on pcpartpicker, it says that you might need a bios update before using haswell refresh CPUs. Whats that mean?

may need a bios update means the bios on the motherboard may need to be updated to work with the CPU properly.

Wait, so your saying H81 motherboards can be overclocked? Im guessing with a bios update then.
This is the board I was going to go with, but now I see it is overclockable, I might just go with the G3258: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I6DL...PDKIKX0DER

Right now im deciding if im going with the unlocked one or the older one which cannot be overclocked.

Also, out of curiosity, how can I get a bios update if the CPU would not work? Just in case I need to update it for the G3258.
ur not going to get good oc on h81 motherboard with ching lang ding dong vrms.
