TropicalPreist Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Isn't sandy bridge restricted from alot of overclocking options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Isn't sandy bridge restricted from alot of overclocking options? Not if you get one of the "K" models but I wanna see what Bulldozer brings to the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcw Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Isn't sandy bridge restricted from alot of overclocking options? The only think you can't really mess with is the BCLK - you get about a 5% max (stable).. And that's simply because the whole system runs off a single clock. Some motherboard manufacturers will choose to add a separate clock, meaning it won't matter... I could barely go up to 102 on some motherboards before the system would just become unstable, but I was also using beta/engineering BIOSes and CPUs. But, as far as CPU goes, the only real overclocking will come in the form of changing the multiplier - and that's really only possible with the K-series... The non-K models have a +4 bins max limit. However, the K cpu is only about a $20 upsell from the non-K, so most will just go for that... If you are deciding between an 1156 and 1155, the Sandy Bridge is worth it, hands down...

sticknstone Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Socket 2011 They have a possible chipset upgrade option. I always thought if I could just flash this chipset. Next I hope something is done with this DX number, number, number... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socket 2011 boards won't be readily available towards Q3 next year... Unless he plans to wait 9 months or so to get a new system... Chipset flashing? And DX###? Are you talking about Intel boards?

Rappo Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Have you come to a conclusion yet? I think we all want to know I am pretty indecisive. What's more on my concern right now is the thought of parts being much cheaper for the 1366 when SandyBridge comes out. edit: on second thought, I might just wait.
