Intel's new Sandybridge based CPU's is a complete new refresh that requires
new socket LGA1155 mainboards. This new platform uses less power and has vastly
superior integrated graphics. The HD2000 graphics is capable of all multimedia
task featuring DirectX 10.1 runtime making them ideal for gamers too. The K
series edition processors are unlocked on the multiplier allowing overclocking
and also feature HD3000 onboard graphics which feature twice the horsepower of
the HD2000 making them ideal for gamers and have support for 3D Gaming. The new
Sandybridge K series processors also feature immense overclocking as
well.

***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***
- Do not exceed 1.425v core voltage,
doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Aim to keep temperatures below 70c
underload if at all possible
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so
could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so
make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher than 1.60v could limit lifespan of
the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is
un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your
CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run
at the above or lower voltages, no higher!
