is this overclocked by manufacturer?

Not the one I bought. I got mine soon after release, so they may have another overclocked offering by now, I don't know. Mine has run well but I didn't try overclocking it. Good Luck.

No. If you plan to overclock, get other product that has better cooling system.

AMD/ATI driver and configuration utilities for this GPU allow main CPU "over-clocking" (in my case it's an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T). It easily increases the core(s) clock speed to 3700 Mhz. The average temperature of the 6 cores is now 48 Celsius (118 F [Imperial]). I'm monitoring this using Pririform Speccy. Just after increasing the clock speed I saw higher temperatures, still in within acceptable limits. I'm wondering about what factors from one day to the next affect these readings; changes in the atmosphere have an influence? ...I enjoy the graphics performance of the GPU and added an HDMI, 1080p-capable flat-screen monitor.

No this card is not overcooked from the factory but does come with an app from HIS that will help you overcooked it without having to set voltage or anything else by yourself. Also this card is fast it pushes BioShock infinite at high settings at 1080p without a hitch

No,just get this card and you can add your own watercool or other fans then overclock.

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

If you don't see any incompatibilities, it should be ok. Just look at the changes they may have made and see if you care about any of them. They usually have better overclocking and support for more memories.

No, that does not sound right. I typically use 16xxMHz RAM with no problem. never wen higher than that on these boards.

GPU clock: 823Mhz Memory:1002Mhz Shader: 1645Mhz. can OC to 924 stable with stock fan. If you want to buy I'll offer it for $90 since I'll be upgrading soon.

Yes, I would like to know if the core is unlocked for overclocking myself. The box says it's unlocked....Can anyone answer this.

They are not the same card. This is the fully factory over clocked running at a clock of 1080Mhz and men at 5600Mhz. The other card has slower clocks. The clocks are higher because the chokes are better, and the chips were binned higher on this card. Check the serials if you want to confirm this. The OC potential is thus higher on this card.

Hi Thank you for your interest. Recently manufactured this model can overclock without frame skipping. But overclocking Hz depends on your graphic card. Normally it can be overclocked to 75/85/96 hz Thank you.

yes it is unless you are going to do some heavy overclocking. My build is a EVGA X99 classified intel 5820K RSXP raystorm liquid cooled, Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 EVGA 1300 80 plus and the case being Corsair Graphite 760T

Doesn't seem to be available from NewEgg either. I would check with eBay or Google the model number and find one of the "overclockers" sites that specialize in this stuff. Model is RC-922XM-KWN1

There were reports of a max OC of 4.6 Ghz using the stock cooler. Depending on your area if it's cool enough and if you get a good chip you could probably get it pretty high. Aftermarket coolers don't seem necessary with this chip.

Any modern day motherboard (Including the M5A97 r2) is not a determining factor when overclocking. What determines the overclock-ability is the processor and the cooling solution (ex. Water cooling or air cooled) I used this board and an AMD FX-4350 with a base clockspeed of 4.2ghz and was able to achieve 5.1 at 50 degrees C. while idle and 58 C while under load. As a basic answer to your question this board will handle overclocking very well just make sure that you are using an FX series or unlocked processor and I would recommend watercooling it.

not overclocked, but I guess it works, depending on your definition of cool.

Yes I believe it would be. This is a very reliable product and I have overclocked my chip w/out issues.

I use MSI Afterburner to overclock. GPU (1000MHz stock) tops out at 1400Mhz and memory (1200MHz stock) tops out at 1450MHz, but you'll need to tweak core voltage for the higher speeds -- my system is stable at 1350 GPU and 1400 Mem with core voltage of 1225mV and temp around 88C (24C ambient).

Hello, Out of the box CPU runs @ 3.6 with no overclocking... I am very pleased with unit.

Do not recommend any kind of overclocking on this motherboard. It is good for basic use.
