Difference in 1156 and 1366 Overclocking?

[sunnysid3up]

Is there a difference between 1156 and 1366 motherboards CPU overclocking capabilities?

I am debating between 1156 motherboard $100 or 1366 motherboard $200.

I was wondering if it is worth the extra money for a 1366 build?

socket 1155 comes out in 3 weeks if you want to wait. It is a little more powerful than 1366 and should be in the price range of the 1156 which it is replacing. Also, apparently has better overclocking ablities than both 1156 and 1366.

But to answer your question it all depends on the CPU you get. Somtiems you get a good one sometimes you don't. I have used both and I still prefer 1366. But 1156 isn't bad.

thank you for informing me on 1155 motherboards i didnt know about them till now :good:

do you know if they are making new processors for these?

Yes, they are. And sandy bridge CPUs won't be able to overclock, except with more expensive "k" edition chips. Sandy bridge performance probably won't surpass LGA 1366, though it may equal it.

I dont like the way Intel will start charging people more if they want to overclock.
Give it time there will be a way around it all

i see i see. thanks i will probably wait for these if the price is around the same as 1156 mobos. 1366 is a bit on the expensive side

I believe that's wrong. What i read was that chips without the k moniker will still overclock but have a limited FSB or something.

Well, every bus'll be tied to one central clock generator issuing the basic 100MHz base clock, so yes, you can overclock, but only 2-3% max, no point overclocking for such a pointless gain

you didnt read what he said. K chips are unlocked as in NOT all busses will be tied to the 100 mhz base clock. intel will be charging people for this, there will be no 2-3 percent limit on K series chips.

dont want to take this thread but whats this about the new 1155 CPU's want be able to be OC'ed?thats fuked up! i mean thats being smart finally on Intel's part. people buying the low-end CPU's and just OC'ing them to the high-end ones,i guess there putting a stop to that.maybe they will get more sells on the high-end CPU's now.I wonder if AMD will follow there foot steps?

I really hope not... for the sake of us enthusiasts

All frequencies are linked, so USB, SATA, memory, FSB are all linked. Although the CPU frequency is fairly relaxed and can be changed massively and still maintain stability, others, such as the USB, are very sensitive, and changing more than a few MHz will cause issues, so you can't overclock pretty much at all.

They have a boost thing though, so it will go up to something like high 3. GHz when under load, but will maintain reasonable temperatures whilst doing so

as far as i have heard, amd will not be following the intel moniker on sandybridge.
