I've been overclocking since T-bird. I can't understand all the hate coming from the OC community for SB.
"
It seems the days of budget friendly overclocking are officially dead on the Intel platform and believe us, it will be sorely missed."
How in the world can a $230 2500K not be considered one of the best "budget friendly" overclockers in the last 10 years? You spend $230 and it's comparable to the previous $1000 980X OUT OF THE BOX. It overclocks to 4.7 on the most pathetic cooling solutions available and it has to be the simplest overclock I've ever seen! I mean christ, what more can you ask for? Who gives a $hit if you can't change the BCLK or FSB (Yes I know you can use a divider!)... The fact that the average builder can now overclock with confidence IS A GOOD THING! Ask yourself honestly: How many people do you know that buy OC components and never do anything with them? I bet at least 50% of the OC targeted parts in the last 10 years get sold to people that never even attempt to use them correctly.
"Max Multiplier + Max BCLK = Max Clock Speed, totally idiot proof."
UEFI + Multiplier + god awful cooling = 4.7ghz = Win
