817050 2009-10-05 04:47:00 Can anyone recommend me a cheap, VERY OVERCLOCKABLE motherboard, which supports:

1) LGA 775 (supports Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140)
2) 4 x DDR2 slots (i.e. max of 8GB ram)

817052 2009-10-05 05:44:00 Yeah Blams on the mark hueybot3000 (3646)
817053 2009-10-05 06:01:00 can they fit into a mATX case? I think my case is mATX - it measures about 40cm x 40cm x 18cm secureprivacy (11611)
817054 2009-10-05 06:11:00 The P5QL-EM, P5Q-EM are MATX. The P5Q Pro, P5Q SE2, P5Q turbo, P5QL Pro, P5QL SE are ATX Speedy Gonzales (78)
817055 2009-10-05 07:03:00 But the P5Q-EM is a G43 chipset - are there any cheap P45 mATX boards - good for overclocking? (it isn't possible to fit a ATX board in an MATX case right? secureprivacy (11611)
817056 2009-10-05 07:10:00 Probably but theres also different brands of mobos. Have you checked in google yourself?

No probably not. An ATX mobo wont fit in an MATX case

817057 2009-10-05 07:30:00 I know about overclocking a CPU and GPU but how do you overclock a motherboard other than changing jumpers?

Just curious.

817058 2009-10-05 07:35:00 More recent mobos theres not a lot of jumpers for OC'ing. Probably were on old mobos, but recent ones, I think you do most of it in the BIOS Speedy Gonzales (78)

Probably correct in so far as my BIOS will allow overclocking but to be pedantic it is NOT the motherboard that is overclocked but rather the CPU is it not? And yes you can run the RAM at a higher speed too once again in the BIOS.
