results coming soon, let me compile enough for it to be worth posting
Good, Good
Interested to see if the P55 can push further than 4.4ghz
this was all done on the Gigabyte H55M-UD2H
a board that costs £85! incredible
i3-530 @ 4GHz
Pushing Further decided to stay late tonight to get some big clocks, [all with a megahalem and an apache fan]
heres what we got...
4ghz primed on one of the cheapest boards [this is not the board featured on the ocuk bundle]
heres a quick stability run @ 4.2GHz which i think would be fine for 24/7 use
then we tried 4.3ghz to see if we could go higher
not bad...
we got 4.4 stable for 20 mins but it crashed, i am still working on that to see if i noobed something up
then i decided that sensible stable overclocks were boring
and so it begins...
and then there was this...
i will try a P55 board when i get the chance, but it is half 7 on a Friday night and i am still at work, that sounds like beer O'Clock tbh
cheers!

Looks like a nice combo
Impressed at how you don't need a really expensive motherboard to get decent overclocks now.

Does overclocking the cpu not effect the onboard GFX then?

i would imagine so, overclocking my cpu gave me quite a decent increase in fps in most games
are you mad? i suggest you do some research
have you even used an overclocked PC before?
