Does anyone know how this overclocks?

i have no idea.... i'd assume decent as all the boards seem to hit 340 or so bus at the least.

i am tempted to go buy a new case just to fit this, its by far the cheapest board and its not some generic one.

That layout is horrible. Im gonna go ahead and stick with the ds3 for now...

Very true though, much better than getting the assrock imo.

the power thing being in the middle like that is pretty bad though.... but i'd rather get it that the wierd asrock board, or the $109 intel retail box one that has no tweaks.

google, you will find the FSB limit is 333Mhz. So you have to have 10x, 11x to have decent o/c.

Yea but the MSI NEO-F P965 has no way to adjust the voltage to the CPU.

I am looking at getting the gigabyte GA-965P-S3 . Same as the other gigabyte but without the solid caps and a different ethernet controller. Only cost $129 at zipzoomfly shipped by fed-ex
