Hello all, just signed up and had a question about overclocking. Please keep in mind I have no experience with overclocking, but I have familiar with the concept and have been building my own PCs for several years now (fearful of overclocking). I am only now deciding to dabble with OC because I am on a bit of a budget and have met a good friend that has had great success with it!
So down to the question...I am in the market for a new CPU/MOBO combo...basically best bang for the buck. After doing some extensive research I came to the choice of getting an Intel e5200 paired with a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L BUT after realizing that the EP DS3L does not support PCIe 2.0 I have now chosen to go with the EP43-DS3L. Will I still be able to overclock the e5200 with the motherboard?
RAM - Corsair 4GB PC2-6400 / 800MHz CL5 DDR2 SDRAM (dual ch)
Video - eVGA 9800gtx+ (recent purchase for new mobo)
PSU - Corsair vx550w
Current CPU - Intel PentiumD 2.8Ghz
Mobo - Intel D945PSN (no PCIe 2.0)
Thanks in advance!
