P4C800-E Deluxe

[CEV]

I have absolutely no experience with OC'ing and I am building a new system. I do not plan on OC'ing right away, but would like to try later on after I learn more about. I am also thinking about getting this ram: Corsair. Will this also be good for OC'ing. Will be using a P4 3.2.

Thanks

My friend got insane overclocks out of this, from 2.6 to 3.2 stable on a Codegen PSU, Northwood Core, and 2x256 OCZ Platinum. Stock HSF, kthx.

Save yourself some money m8, get that ram here

Not sure what the main performance differances are between the Northwood and the Prescott, but I will be using the Prescott. I have heard that it can get hot. Other than that, should I be ok for OC'ing when I decide to try it?

Thanks

If you are able to keep a Prescott's heat in check, theoretically you should be able to overclock it higher as the Prescott's deeper pipelines can tolerate higher frequencies.
But, I don't know how that theory will translate into real world outcomes. Just make sure you have a good CPU cooler.
