Guys, is the Asus P5KPL-VM good for overclocking? or can it do some overclockings? another thing, can u suggest any MoBo from ASUS, MSI and XFX that is good for overclocking? budget ranges from 2k to 3.5k... tnx!

as a general rule, a good overclocking mobo allows u to change the fsb, change the multiplier, change the processor Vcore and the memory voltage...kung naay one of the above nga dili mahimo sa mobo then your overclocking will be "crippled". for the processor, get a processor that has a high multiplier...gamai lang increase in fsb value will result to a higher speed...

if i'm not mistaken, you have already started a thread asking for a motherboard suggestion.

@topic (for your sorry sake) : to add, a good overclocking mobo, imho, should have, solid state caps, good thermal designs, a cmos reset switch, and an lcd panel. a good overclocking mobo for 2-3k? good luck.

i got an XFX 7050 for intel

OC features:

CPU multiplier
CPU voltage
FSB clock
memory clock
memory voltage
Northbridge voltage
FSB voltage (i dont know whats the use)
several memory timings

bonus:
power and reset tack switches onboard
Gigabit LAN
6 audio connectors
can support ddr2 800 (but unstated) - single channel
solid caps at the CPU side.

it cost only 2550

i set my e2160 to 2.4Ghz (9x266, all stock voltage) with EIST enabled so it clocks down to 1.6Ghz when idle
no issues running 4 instances of prime95. northbridge is quite cool

i got it to run at 2.95Ghz, just a bit frustrated not reaching 3Ghz

what u think?
