actualy i have a 680i se sli, and i was wondering if that would cauze any problems seeing as how this mobo was made for overclocking the core 2 duo?

im using about the same motherboard and processor combo. runs like a crackhead on more crack.

Be sure to get a good cooler so you can take the processor to 4ghz, though. You have to abuse the 10x multiplier or the extra 250$ you are paying are wasted.

Omega, you do realize that the only difference between O/C and not is only the numbers on benchmark programs? The real world user experience is not noticed in the OS environment.
