How much overclocking do you think I could get out of it with this ram and motherboard?

Would you recommend different ram? I've heard that ram is good for overclocking.

N5 DDR2 800 should hit +450MHz/4-4-4-12-2T with 2.1Vdimm. My slowest stick is capable of 580MHz/5-5-5-15-2T using 2.1V. There is no guarantee when you overlock RAMs.

Don't spend that much $ on IP35-E! IP35 is the same board, plus RAID, 1394a, and two more SATA ports for only $96 AR.

Hmmmm, weren't there some improvements on the -e board? Like stability while running 4 sticks of ram? Some other things? Or no?

 

[SerpentRoyal]

No. Same BIOS for both boards. -E uses ICH9 chipset without RAID. BTW, you can now engage the IP35-E at NewEgg for $90 with no rebate. I suspect we will see a $20 to $30 rebate sometime in the month of December.

What do you mean engage?

I searched newegg and I'm not finding the ip35-e.

Also how much of a overclock do you think I would get with that cpu, ram and motherboard?

50% of these chips should hit 3.2GHz if you have quality RAMs and PSU. Antec Earthwatts 380 would be fine as long as you don't overload the PSU with a bunch of HDDs and a power-hungry GPU.

Nice, I already have a 430 Watt PSU I'm going to use.

Sweet thanks for the info.
