October 24, 201114 yr I am just wondering if a 4 pin CPU connector will be enough for some serious overclocking, isn't there an ASRock one you could go for? Other than that it seems fine to me.I had a quick look around on the UK market and was able to find a P8P67 LE for the same price but I am sure you could find better if you know the stores.

October 24, 201114 yr Author The Asrock one was out of stock. I can still cancel the mobo and order it elswhere My system which is due for delivery on the 27th October 2011 Intel i5 2500k 4.5ghz Asus GeForce GTX560ti 1024mb GDDR5 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb 1600mhz Seagate Baracuda 500GB 6GB/s 16mb Cache Cooler Master Elite case Cooler Master hyper 212 CPU fan G7 780w PSU - I know i need to upgrade this! 32" BEKO HD LCD screen FSX Acceleration + UTX, GEX, REX, GenX VFR UK, all UK2000 airports, Mogwaisoft Shade, many Aerosoft Major Airports And...

October 24, 201114 yr I would get another opinion but I think the power delivery to the mobo is very important for OCing. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
October 24, 201114 yr Author I called OC to ask their opinion. I wanted the Asock Z6 Pro3 but there are non in stock. The guy said there is either 4 or 8 pin connections for the CPU, but to OC to about 4.6ghz, the 4 pin would be fine.I even said i don't mind spending more money to get an 8 pin one, he said you can (better for OC.co.uk surely?) but that the one i ordered would do fine.

October 24, 201114 yr I am no expert but I wouldn't think a 4Pin would be fine. See if you can source the Pro 3 else where because I think it would be a much better board.

October 24, 201114 yr Author My order is shipped so the £700 has been taken. I will wait until the Asrock comes available from OC, and offer to send mine back, with the garuntee i will order the (more expensive) Asrock one.That is all i can do..

October 25, 201114 yr Just realized how we here in the states are fortunate to have Newegg, Tiger Direct, Amazon etc. If one doesnt have it the other does and free shipping, most the time.Well we here in India have a whole street for computer hardware around 70-80 shops , the place is called Lamington Road in Bombay, just need to go there pick up what you want no ordering online nothing.

October 25, 201114 yr HelloShops are so last century.Only kidding It actually sounds slower than online ordering Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
October 26, 201114 yr Shops are so old school. But I also still use them.Times are coming (in Europe) where low prices will be combined with no shipping and no extra chares for paypal or credit card, which is going even further make life for shops harder.

It's like maximum of 2 hrs from anywhere in Bombay you can reach this place so it is very convenient for all. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
