I7 2600

Last response: in Systems

So I bought a Acer complete build I7 2600 (am3920-e4142). I had to buy a PC right away and had no time to mount one. But now I have plenty of time and I would like to know 1 or 2 things.

With this PC, the motherboard doesnt allow OC, so my I7 2600 is kinda useless since I can't get his full power.

I would like to know if I change the case + motherboard, will I be able to OC it? if so, whats the difference between 2600 and 2600k? I know the 2600 are mainly compagny built like mine, but it doesnt become a 2600k if I change the mobo right? -_-


well anyone know anything about this?

Thx and sorry for my english.

Hi again :p  Well those motherboard are useless for me if I cant OC this CPU. I wont pay 300$ to get +1.0GHz since its not worth it for now. Maybe later but for now I'll stick with my 2600 since its all good for gaming....for now.

understandable I was just letting you know that you need a "k" for OCing and a Zxx series is very good for OC

yea so your limited to 3.9ghz and the i7 2600 has a turbo boost up to 3.8ghz. Thats going to help a lot....


thats for a 2500 this is a 2600 so MIN it would be at 3.9 with all four cores maxed and with one core active it would be 4.3.
