I already have a spare ASUS commando & a 680i available but I wanna know if these older chipsets will overclock a wolfdale/yorkfield well??

Or should i be looking for an x38/x48 MOBO instead?

See how well they do first, then decide if an extra 300MHz (random example) is worth £170

Fair comment but I hate rebuilding

so i'd rather start off with a guaranteed performer

I bought an Asus P5Q-E along with the E8600. They will arrive in the morning! Woo hooo!

I'm thinking Rampage Extreme + Geil DDR3 + E6600 E0. Dee can you have a go at clocking that chip once you get it?
