    Also anyone looking for a cheap but awesome Intel based CPU for the LGA1150 socket, I'd recommend the Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258, I've had one for about a month and I love it to bits! it's a beast of a CPU, I have ASUS AI Suite III which DrNomis, allows me to safely overclock as far as it goes without crashing every 3 seconds but I back it off a bit to extend the life a bit. Paired with my Corsair H100i (uses water, not air to cool the CPU for better overclocking) I got it over 4ghz and it's nuts when you factor in the price....

    That's cool that you've been able to get your system to run at over 4Ghz, as long as it's stable you should be fine, I'm using a Gigabyte GAZ68XP-UD3 Motherboard in my current PC, I think it has overclocking settings in it's Bios, I should have a good read of the user manual.

    I've also got a couple of old Mac G4 computers, I've managed to get an old version of ProTools running on one of them.
