ocuk Overclocked sandy bridge Bundles

I guess most people bought separate items, but you cant go wrong with either of the two bundles, both motherboards have the same features, it probably comes down to looks.

If you will be happy with 4.4GHz, and will never touch it, then I'd be inclined to spend the extra £30 if you are not confident with the overclocking.

That said, it isn't a difficult affair; On the Asus board, its just a case of setting Overclocking to manual, BCLK to 100, Turbo to all cores with a multiplier of 44 (For 4.4GHz), PLL Overvolt to on, and your memory to whatever the specifications state.

At 4.4GHz, the Asus board should do a good job of choosing a voltage for you, but most people seem to be doing 4.4GHz at around 1.25 - 1.3v - some even less!
