I picked 4Ghz out of my ass for an upcoming review... why? Because I know all CPUs can reach it, and I have other data sets there. So....maybe. 
It depends on the board. But at a meager 4-4.2GHz, for the most part, the 'cheapest' board won't have an issue reaching those clocks. When you get to the higher clocks, there may be a slight difference and board would play a role in up that high. But not where most venture. Worst case is 100Mhz or so and give or take a bit on voltage. But 90% of Intel boards will take a CPU to its ambient cooled limits......... unless you are AMD trying to run an octo core where boards DO matter A LOT, LOL!
