Intel Reports : Haswell Over-Clocking Will Be Blocked On Non-Z87 Motherboards.
Haswell overclocking basically has two major requirement : A K-series Intel processor & Motherboard with Z87 chipset. However, the third party motherboard manufacturers like Asus,ASRock,Gigabyte & Biostar have exploited the latter requirement, so Haswell overclocking on H81,H87 & B85 chipset is possible using firmware update by the motherboard manufacturers.
Motherboard developers exploited the bug in Management-Engine, a part of firmware that communicates between BIOS & Processor.ASRock was the first MoBo manufacturing company to find a way to send instructions to it which allows the voltage-multiplier to be adjusted in H81,B85 & H87 chipset motherboard.
Hardware.fr folks contacted Intel & Intel replied :
So, if you're planning not to upgrade the BIOS, then also the update from within Operating system can patch microcode into the BIOS.
A suggestion : Don't update BIOS & Turn Off the Windows Update, If you wanna enjoy your OC'ed machine in non-Z87 chipset.
Intel is money hungry, they know if the patch won't be released, none of the Z87 chipsets will be sold.

Hardware.fr folks contacted Intel & Intel replied :
Intel plans to release a microcode update that limits processor core overclocking to Intel Z87 based platforms WW30'13.This adjustment will be part of the BIOS-Update.So, if once updated, this feature of overclocking will be removed.
