ASUS P5Q SE2 iP45 overclocking potential?

Dazzeerr · 10-30-2009, 04:16 AM

I know it's not going to be superb, but what do you think I might be able to get out of my Q6600 on it?

the motherboard only plays a certain role in OC. you need good ram and hope you got a good chip that will overclock well. some q6600 wont go past 2.5OC some will hit 4gh WC.

4GB Crucial Ballistix RAM and all I know is it's G0 stepping.

But keep in mind you can buy the top of the line i7 and not even break 3ghz stable. It all has to do with the quality of the part when assembled from manufacture. each one is not made the same.
