[boardsportsrule]

Last time i overclocked was on a DFI lan party, 165 opteron, and BH-5 Ram...

just bought a p5k-e, 6550, and some G.Skill ddr2-800..

Any tips for overclocking the new technology? Anything to look out for??

Thanks!

The new generations of Intel chips overclock like hell. You wil find it extremely easy to hit 3.2 ghz and beyond on stock cooling.

My only thought is NB needs proper cooling on these new fanless heatpipes that picks up the heat from the mosfets as well.
