CPU/Mobo Need to Overclock i5 750! P55 or H55??

[raju.03kumar]

I've got a an i5 750 processor and i'm bit skeptical about whether to pick up a P55 board or a H55 board to moderately overclock my processor to say 3.5Ghz to 3.6Gs

>And the rest of the config will be corsair 2x2 4gb 1600mhz cl9 1.65v XMS3 and sapphire 5850 ...

>absolutely no interest in crossfire setups

>and i have ample cooling for the processor (TRUE 120+1156 bracket)

Is there any difference in performance with 4pin and 8 pin cpu power connector??
and the power phase controllers surrounding the cpu socket??

Bottom line need a good motherboard in ~5k~ range...
boards in my mind
Gigabyte h55m ud2h
asus p7h55m

i guess i've posted this thread in a wrong section earlier..

i would recommend gigabyte due to service but performance wise there is little to choose ,here is my ocverclock with i5 750 and asus p7p5d-e

Grab a P55 board from gigabyte, it's a good one, i think all solid caps, and the power circuitry is good enuf...

 

[raju.03kumar]

does the 8 pin cpu power connector have any advantage over the 4 pin connector??

 

[gokufan]

it gives more power to cpu adding to stability when overclocking
and if your psu supports it it is good

Dont worry, I think u'll need p[in if you're going for above 3.8-4GHz...

@ stock 3.4 might be attainable.

ATX, solid caps, SATA ports far away from PCIe x16 slot, ...
