I'll likely get a second hand rig off ebay as theres potentially some very good deals vs. building my own, I'll just have to wait for the right one. I'll be watching out for any mobo limitations from now on too.

BIOS updates were released by Asus a few months ago but intel were arsey and said they intend blocked them - however I can't seem to find whether or not they actually went through with it. so the overclocking potential will likely be lost. Even so it's still a great price.. 11-06-2013, 08:26 AM

You must check : _Single Threaded Performance (1 task / basically 1 core performance) _Multi Threaded Performance ( multitasking / all cores performance) _Power Consumption _Overclocking Capability If you're lazy , you can use CPUboss.com or google "i5 2500k vs fx 6350" FX 6350 OC Capability isn't as good as FX 6300 (You should google this) . It will lose to i5 2500k since i5 2500k can be overclocked to 5.0GHz Laptop: Mini PC :: 11-06-2013, 09:42 AM
To simplify it:
Any cpu with a K at the end of the model number is unlocked. Any motherboard with a P or Z at the beginning of the chipset name is unlocked. You need both in order to overclock.
