    First OC - i7 875K

    Thanks for the followups. Small issue that has me a bit confused...I went into the tweak section of BIOS and went to increase the CPU multiplier past 22x (currently 22x160), but it will not let me go past 22x. Shouldn't I be able to set the multiplier to anything I want? Is there a setting...

    i7 875K vs i5 750 ?

    Hi all, I am fairly ignorant to this kind of stuff ( I rely on you all! ) so I'll be brief - I am building a bang-for-your-buck PC in a few weeks. Was planning on a i5-750 and OCing it to nearly 4 GHz to get great performance @ $200 CPU cost. I just found a deal for an i7 875K for...
