Hi I am looking for help in choosing a board. I want to over clock with the E2160. I see that allot of people are raving about the Gigabyte ....DS3L. However I am looking for a micro ATX. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gigabyte GA-G33M-___ ??

GA-G33M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G33, yes this look like a good board. Lot of ability to upgrad in the future. Any idea how it will over clock? This is the big factor for me overclockabilty..

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I might as well change my plans right now.

In comparision to other pcb's, MrsBytch is correct.
I got my E8400 overclocked (400x9) 3.6GHz solid. (See my config on the left) I could do (456x8) 3.648GHz. Above 456 or 3.65-(1.25V) it was unstable. I didn't fully explore all freq,mult,voltage combos to move beyond that. Onboard GPU could be the restrictive item regardless of what you do there.

So would this be considerd a 20% overclock?

Yes. E8400 is 3.0GHz stock -> 3.6GHz = 20%.
Not sure but I think you might do much better % since you're starting at 200x9.

Yes what I am seeing is 50% and more but nobody is taking about doing this with a micro ATX board.
