So I ordered that motherboard earlier this morning and a Q9550 is going to go with it. How far would I be able to overclock it? Bios setting would be appreciated. I'm looking to get the cpu up to 3.8Ghz atleast. Someone from the newegg customer reviews page claimed to achieve 3.8 easily, I just don't know what voltages everything has to be at and it's been awhile since I've done overclocking. I also ordered the Mugen Scythe 2 and hope that can handle heavy overclocking.

I'm pretty excited about this new build though.

I appreciate you posting lately. Keep it up! we need more people willing to answer ?'s

But it really depends how good your CPU is what speed you will achieve.
