Asus P5Q-VM? Overclockability?

[Joe90k]

Hi,

As above, has anyone got one? Or know how the G45 chipset handles an overclock?

I'm looking to buy this to replace my Abit Fatal1ty f-190HD to get my e6320 higher on a watercooling set up which should be with me tomorrow.

Thanks

Joe

As no one answered my thread I thought hell I'm gonna order one, its got a good chipset whats the worst that could happen!

OMFG!!! THIS MOBO IS THE NUTS!!!

It has a small version of linux to run a browser so that you can browse the internet in 35 seconds from the push of the power button.

I have watercooled my rig and as such am getting temps of around 23 degrees C with an overclock from 1.86Ghz to 2.8Ghz :O

I am gonna see how far I can take this chip!

I have some pics on the way of the build for anyone whos interested, it was a tight squeeze getting a loop in a Lian Li PC-V350 with 1/2" ID tubing!!
