P43 or P45 for overclocking

mkeats02 · 4 Jan 2009 at 11:25

I am looking to overclock my new build, I have opted for the E5200 processor, with 2*2Gb 800Hz 5-5-5-15 and would like to get to around 3.0Ghz will the Asus P5QL Pro P43 allow me to do this without too many problems, or do I have to go for a P45 chipset?

Cheers

You might do better to post this in the overclocking thread matey.

(I myself don't know much about overclocking so cant help ya)

I've got an Abit IP43 that is running a 2160(or is it 80?) at 356fsb no problems at all.

P43

I bought an asus p5ql pro with an e8400, Its an ok board for lower clocked cpu's but for anything with a low divider its not that good. I can only do 3.7ghz as the maximum fsb the p5ql pro does is 416mhz ( there is a limit on most p43 chipsets to around 415mhz )

So as long as you get a higher multi cpu with a lower fsb this board will do good.
