Asus boards overclocking freindly?

[camel lips]

I was surprised at how easy it was to OC my processor with my gigabyte Mother board.

ARe Asus as user friendly?

Ive got my eye on this board.

Its the only one I can find that allows for 4 IDE cables.A must with all the IDE HD I have.

Overclocking potential lies primarily in the chip itself, motherboards simply need to accommodate. So I see no reason a good asus mobo shouldn't be OC friendly.

BTW newegg is timing out for me, might just be on my end.

Every Asus motherboard I have owned was overclocking freindly.

Generally, the higher end and more expensive the motherboard, the better it will be at overclocking. But generally the Asus boards are great overclockers.

My frien and I have had many issues and ended up costing more OC the lower end Nvidia motherboards. They get way to hot making you buy more cooling and just did not have friendly bios. Thats when I just order this:

will over clock like like crazy using stock cooling. I have my 6300 running 3.0 and have not taken it more cause I'm happy with the performance.
