Hey,
The standard 2500 (ie cheaper one you listed) isn't overclocking friendly. Non 'K' chips have very limited multipliers therefore no overclocking. K series are fully unlocked![]()
One called OEM, this comes without a fancy box, heatsink/fan and 1year warranty, its for big pc builders who don't need the rubbish that comes with it.
The retail has a stock intel heatsink and full 3year warranty
That will teach me for not checking the links out, just saw the prices and thought you linked the OEM and retail cpu's.

I agree with the above although. if you want a little more flare with the motherboard you could look at the crosshair.

Its a little more expensive, admittedly not the latest but a good £100 cheaper so the better option in my opinion.
Whoever wrote that does not have a clue.
the CPU voltage and Memory voltage are unrelated.
Thanks stulid.
@ Martini1991, I see you have the same mobo that I've just ordered, and noticed from your sig that you say your CPU is at 4.16GHZ and your CPU NB is at 3.2ghz? Sorry to sound thick but can you explain in laymans terms what the 2nd GHZ rating applies to, or can you point me to any articles for me to read up on? As I've mainly been an Intel man and this doesn't apply?
Thanks in advance![]()
