Tarn, I think you already owns a Athlon II X4 based config. If so then why a new rig now. If overclock locking is the main criteria then your Athlon II X4 can be overclocked too by increasing the base clock speed.

i have overclocked it to 3.6 and i actually wanted to take X6 in the that budget but no harddisk is it possible ? i wanted to hit the 4 Ghz mark how much do i have to spend to get a X6 to 4.2 or 4Ghz so a CPU+Motherboard+PSU+Ram

I don't know why you are creating threads on a per day basis. :oops:

After hitting 4.0 Ghz, you'll want to hit 5.0 Ghz. :rolleyes: :|

Better THINK logically and *plan* an upgrade over long term if you are short of money...which you obviously are.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/150464-overclock-x6-1055-a.html

Like Joker told you, get the motherboard and PSU now. Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 + Seasonic S12II 620w. Rs. 9500 + 4400 = Rs. 13900.

Processor (FX-8120) and CPU cooler later. Preferably Hard Disk later too as they are expensive at the moment.

Either have a budget for something good, or don't buy anything at all. This is my recommendation for you because at the moment you are merely going for sidegrade which isn't going to be any/much improvement on currently what you have, and you _will_ regret it. And if you will still continue to ignore the advice given to you over here, there is no point of creating such threads and asking for help from us. Do what you feel like.

Kindly check the motherboards around your price here. See "high failure rate" mentioned. "no X6, no X4 over 3.5 Ghz"

955 BE is 6.1 and a 500GB HDD costs 4.4k .... Total =10.5k ;-)

I'm getting so much confused seeing the threads created by Tarun - what he wants is not clear to me and may be even to to him ;-)

is ita 955BE or X6 1055 ?? he already have 78LMT-S2P 6 GB DDR3 ram ( acc to his siggy ) but he still needs :
CPU+Motherboard+HDD+RAM combo under 11k :confused:

@ Tarun - tell us mate what exactly do you want ?? it would be good for both of you and those who are giving you good suggestions and your current rig is good enough for the screen resolution you are using - most of current games will run at decent settings ;-)

^^TP, I was not talking about only CPU and HDD. Look at Op's need, within 11K, he needs the Ram + Motherboard too within 10K budget.

Tarun, be clear buddy what you want. Wait couple of days to collect a good amount of money and then jump to overclocking business. Otherwise you won't get a balanced rig. For example Oceing in a cheap 760G chipset based sub 3K board is not at all recommended. So for now get a 990X motherboard and a good CPU cooler. Look for the BIOSTAR 990FXE motherboard at techshop.in, a sub 10K 990FXA based motherboard.

the motherboard list that u gave is for AM3 not AM3+
what difference would this make on the quality side? Low-end motherboards are not for serious overclocking.

May be AM3+ revision has slightly better VRMs, but I will emphasize on a proper motherboard.

sigh...dont know what to say...everything has been said & OP continues to ignore.

tarun...dont start stupid threads if u dont want to listen. buy anything and u will be happy.

to hit 4.0 ghz on phenom II...we are suggesting u a motherboard capable of that first and power supply. processor later.

important things first.

that list was made by Xd_1771 and he personally told me that a 78LMt-S2P is the minimum to Overclock a 955 BE

first thing 1st:
1. get a PSU that can support overclocking i.e. a proper PSU. not desi brands.
2. get a motherboard with 6+2 or *+2 VRM & if possible with VRM heatsink
3. get a cooler depending on how much you want to hit 3.8Ghz or more. or just for the safety of your processor as Phenom II coolers are really unreliable.
4. buy Phenom II X4 ***

you miss one step & something will break.

because that mobo is the minimum, so u'll go with the minimum whether safe or not. :rolleyes:

requesting mods to consider locking this thread.

ok ... go it ;-)

@ Tarun : If you have budget issue then get this ;-)

look at the last post by me - there we have suggested you appropriate mobos.
