That's a good board an a good price too. It has more USB ports and 2 extra SATA 3.I don't know if they have improved the OC tuner for automatic OC, but it's not a good idea generally speaking to let the board overclock for you. You can set the RAM speed independantly to CPU speed using the RAM multiplier

Jep, I think I will get this one. I have some experience with overclocking with Asus boards and it looks quite good and it´s agood price. I don´t thing that I´ll overclock the CPU from the beginn. I will firstly check how good it performs and then I´ll gonna oc it.

So far I´m considering tis components for the upgrade:1.) i5-2500k2.) Asus P8P67 Rev. 3.0[/url]3.)4GB Corsair xms3 Are these components good and will they harmonise together?

For just 10€ more I would pick these Mushkin 1600 CL7I know memory speed makes little difference, but for 10€ you get the equivalent to 200MHz CPU overclock or something like that.

Will they work with the other components? I´ve read that the i5 can only handle RAM speeds up to 1333 MHz.

Look at post #27 In a P67 board, the available RAM speeds are 1066, 1333, 1600, 1833, 2133 and 2400MHz The 1333MHz restriction is just for H67 boards

Ahh, Thanks! I had been a bit confused about this.

Another thing: I read on the packages of my cooler (see in sig) that it´s usable with socket LGA 775, 1366 and 1156. Is it also compatible to the Sandy Bridge 1155 socket?

1156/1155 are the same as far as coolers go. Whats surprising is it supports that many sockets to begin with.

Ok, thanks. Jep, it´s featuring a lot of sockets. I´m running it actually on a LGA 775.
