did the 1156 follow on from 775 with overclocking?

after finding out my i7 860 seems to be dead i am debating whether to keep looking for an improved processor or possibly try to sell my system before wednesday when my new itx case arrives and fund a newer socket build to whack inside it.

however i am wondering whether my i3 or any other 1156 cpu can be overclocked without being a specific? just like the 775 socket where you could pretty much overclock any without all this 'K' requirement, if i can then i could get a new cooler.

thanks for replies.

never dealt 1366 so dont think of them, so 775 only socket i know and have done overclocking on myself lol.

i am still unsure on the xenons as i have less knowledge of them than the other processors lol as while ive implied so so gaming with this build, waiting for my elite 110 which will allow my atx supernova and than dual slot cards of good value can be added, so will want to make make this a decent mid ranger gamer.

maybe i will look into the xenons, always up for trying different parts, ironically when i returned my 860 to said shop they had a 920 i think for £25, but obviously that was 1366 lol.

i have seen a 1155 itx mobo combo which has Asus P8H61-I R2.0, i5 3470, 8gb ram, intel cooler on gum which would be ideal upgrade without going recent tech, but its £100, i still need a gpu to replace my 610.
