How's the Asus P8Z68-V LE? Does it overclock well?

[Sgt_Strider]

I'm thinking of pairing this motherboard with an Intel Core i5 2500K. I'll also be using 4x4GB G.Skill RipX 1600mhz DDR3 RAM. Will this motherboard overclock well?

depends on what you define as a overclocking well. You should be able to reach 4 Ghz+ with a 2500K on that mobo.

Personally I stay clear of LE boards, as LE/LX boards are the bottom of the barrel ASUS boards.

Oh yea?

I have the P8Z68-V Pro and it automatically clocked my 2500K to 4.5GHz with one mouse click. I don't know about the LE. Don't get the LE if you want to crossfire, the 2nd slot is 4x only.

I don't intend to use crossfire. My only goal is to use a single GPU setup. I just want to know about its overclockability.

Has much less power phases then the more expensive boards. Not designed for massive OCs.
