I just ordered a Biostar a770e mobo (newegg link) and a Phenom II 945 3.0 ghz x4 (newegg link) and was wondering if any amount of overclocking is possible with the lack of mosfet heatsinks. I downloaded the user manual while waiting for it in the mail and was unable to find any FSB setting, so this may keep me from being able to OC my not unlocked cpu.
3.0 ghz X 4 is enough for me, so I don't necessarily have to overclock, but I would like to tinker with it if recommeneded.
Other specs of my build for Tuesday:
Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (for lots of airflow)
BIOSTAR A770E AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
8GB of cheap DDR2 800 (ripped from my Lenovo K230)
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V
XFX 5770 1GB
640 GB 7200 RPM Western Digital Blue Ed.
1 TB Samsung 5400 RPM
