One of the things you will find about the FX boards is there ability to manage the bios is fantastic so if you do decide to overclock your current CPU it's very very easy to do on this board ... The only other thing to consider is cooling once you start to overclock but there are lots of options in that dept

Just do a bit at a time and you will be fine ... AMD FX chips are borne to be OC'd

I have this board and as usual, Asus have brought another great platform to build off.
I originally bought the Crosshair in Anthony's sig but as money was tight and I really couldn't justify the extra money (for so many options I thought I would never use)I returned it to be able to buy this and the 8350 together, The Crosshair V Formula Z is on offer as is the Sabertooth, both great overclocking boards.
