:freak: :( :eek: :confused: :rolleyes: :p :laughing: ;) :cool:
thanks
 
get a P35 board instead of a 650i...the 560i don't overclock nearly as well as the P35...trust me i have owned both as well as a P965.
 
ASUS P5N32-E is a terrible board for overclocking Quad's, firstly because I guess its 650i which doesn't go great with Quads and that its a hybrid chipset (ask Nosboost300 he had the board and couldn't go past 3.0ghz on his q6600) get a EP35-DS3R instead

thats better spec'ed RAM
