Want to OC this processor to 3.2 Ghz. I have a ga-890xa-ud3, 212evo, HD5770, but stock psu of 750w and ram 4gb 1330 kingstong. What I should upgrade?

If you really want to do this, you must also look at upgrading your cooling solution as well as a stock cpu cooler may not cut it, so get one of those after market air coolers or the you can go the liquid cooling route, also look at maybe buying another 2 gig stick of ram it will depend on the operating system that you are using if it is a 32-bit system don't bother but if it is a 64-bit OS then buy the 2 gig stick of memory.

I am not sure about your type of processor but I will tell you I have an i7 3770 that boost up to 3.9 GHz and even under a full load never go over 45 C. I do not overclock and I only use one fan I was told that an additional fan will basically only help if you are overclocking I would start with one fan and see how it goes from there I would doubt that you would have any overheating issues also the thermal paste they gave you is pretty good but I use artic silver instead.

Check the Gigabyte website for this motherboard and what CPUs are supported by this motherboard. Here's the link: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=495. You should be good to go with this processor. Great MB.

this board is rated to DDR3-2400 so you are fine... I don't know where those other answers are coming from, it will clock correctly for your CPU / Ram combo then you can OC to wherever you want.... these other answers are completely wrong... it won't crash anything... it's completely automatic and works great... jeez

I wouldn't overclock this CPU. It already consumes 230 watts and gets really hot

According to the System Information on my computer the CPU is 3.40 GHz. Sorry I can't find the PSU but I needed to purchase a Step Down power unit to adapt it for Australian Power supply of 240 volts.

Just off the top of my head I think that is a dual core processor. You could use it but there would be some bottle-necking. Isn't that CPU on an AM3 board? Why don't you upgrade to a FX CPU (quad core-still cheap options) and then do the HD 7850.

Make sure your motherboard is compatible with this processor, otherwise it will cause damage to either the CPU or the motherboard.I'm no expert here but I think I can help you narrow down your search using this linkhttp://www.cpu-upgrade.com/If this doesn't work consider a deeper research on the processor you already have and see if it has more powerful versions within the series.I wish you best of luck and I hope this helps

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

I have a GTX 770, which as I understand is basically a GTX 680 chip that has already been overclocked by nVidia. Therefore, there really isn't much headroom for OC'ing the 770, but I'm sure some have tried. Google is your friend... :) I have OC'd previous nVidia cards and have good stable success, just be patient and do it slowly, stress the card (hopefully with game) and monitor temps all the time. It isn't a procedure for the lazy who want to shortcut... Good luck.

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

u need a pci-e which It has, its also functioning great when overclocked too with that board id recommend a better card but u wont be the only one running it on that board, go ahead and google it a few others are using it

This board will handle 2133 mhz and overclock it, it will handle up to and beyond 3000 mhz. What ram are you running?
1267634
you can but since you have no vcore control you cant oc higher than 4.3GHz. you need vcore control so I recommend z77x-ud3h I have the ud5h and they aren't too expensive but they are very good quality. since this is my fianc's account I gave her the board but i'm a guy who likes tweaking so I got an higher board. if the prices are too high here just go to ebay. you will get a good one for around $150 or lower which means you save about $50 or more. Make sure you have a unlocked cpu as I have the i5-3570k and i'm now at 5.0GHz but locked cpu's can only be oc'ed to there turbo speed. thanks for listening. Mark. if you have anymore questions ask and my fianc will let me know or you can find me on overclock.net at: http://www.overclock.net/u/372327/djthrottleboi

Yes, this CPU is an AM3 socket. Also a 500 watt PSU will be fine as long as you aren't trying to run SLI or something like that on your GPU. I recommend at least getting an 80+ bronze rated PSU.

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey
