Should I have a overclock capable motherboard?

James Convento · Apr 2, 2013

I'm just kid so cut me some slack for other peoples there.

So Should I have a overclock capable motherboard? or any motherboard will do in overclocking all of my system?
including the RAM and everything that can be overclocked.

Im looking at these to motherboards:

and

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A55M-E33.html#/?div=Overview (which is slighty cheaper that the other one)

appreciate your comment and opinions though.
( updated it because because the 2nd link was wrong

What are your full system specs? The A75 series is great, you can OC fully and it has great functions that the A55 just does not, its not that much more expensive too. SO yes, get an A75 board.

Have you bought any parts yet?
Give us what you are looking at and what you plan to do with the PC. If its gaming, there are BETTER options than an APU.

We'll i'm gonna use it for gaming.
Although im on a budget. but i think that APU will do fine.
if I save enough money. i woukd buy a video card to enable dual graphics, or Buy a High end video card.

im interested in playing game like Crysis 1,2,3 and assassins creed and TF2.
just want a good gameplay.

Novuake :

Here are my full specs haven't brought anything though:

Processor: A10-5800K
Motherboard: (at questions or still thinking)
HDD: 500gb WDigital Blue
RAM: 8gb Genesis (1866C9D3K2/8GX) 2x4
PSU: FSP raider 80+ Bronze 550w
Chassis: COUGAR SPIKE or RAIDMAX VIPER or COOLERMASTER ELITE 372

Eish, Crysis 1 or 3 will barely run on an APU... Same for later Assassins Creed. A high end graphics card will not work well with an APU, since the CPU part is not powerful. This will cause your CPU to hold back the high end card. Dual graphics are also not good at all.

You should not trust videos. But it may run Crysis 1 at a very low resolution.

But the guy was a AMD personnel don't know what is his position though
And i've seen benchmarks scores though.

James Convento :

EXACTLY he is from AMD, lol what resolution is your monitor?

There is a bench, see the lowest resolution for Crysis three. The onboard GPU for that card is just weaker than the HD6670. The HD6670 can not even give you a playable 30FPS at the lowest possible settings...
