I usually buy boards that can overclock but don't do it. What I usually look for once I get my CPU, memory and all installed, the selection for optimized settings or something to that effect. I've always found that that setting works pretty darn well. I had to tweak the IOMMU or something setting but other than that, I let it detect the best settings. If I upgrade the BIOS, I repeat that on the first boot up. In my experience, it picks good safe settings that result in stable systems. I've never had a MSI mobo, yet, so it may be called something different but even Dell and Gateway usually have something similar to choose. It may be worth looking into . Dale :-) :-)
