check ur socket if its like this one then u r good to OC the i5 on this mobo but if u got something like this

the be carefull for OCs above 4Ghz cause FOXXCON socket(the 2nd one) got some manufacturing fault and it burns up with high OCing while LOTES socetk(1st one) is ok and good for OCing.

MSI and EVGA usually uses LOTES socket while ASUS use Foxconn socket.
but some people are also getting LOTES socket on asus boards and foxconn socket on EVGA board.

@MR AFQ... Thanks for scaring me even more bro.. but i already know that.. and I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GOING ABOVE 4.0ghz... and that too with a KICK A$$ cooler.

I did check if all the pins made PROPER CONTACT with the processor, and they did. SO i hope nothing goes wrong.

thanks for the update :)

for GODSAKE!!! almost every socket is made by foxconn if anandtech didnt know this (as i previously reffered to a gigabyte tour post ... that was from anandtech) ... then im afraid how reliable their reviews can be!!!

so stop this reffering to foxconn socket issue again n again!

^ Awesome overclock ... Great temps ... And Good vcore
Job nicely Done :wink2:

Spoiler: show
But after seeing the i5 performance, I can say It might be as fast a i7, but ONLY in Gaming Performance in Presume, as at 4GHz, i7's WinRAR score crosses 5.8k (my be due to Tripple Channel Memory and More Bandwidth of i7) but in Normal Performance, i5 seems half of it.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
