Need an advice.

Hey guyz..

Sorry for my bad english..

 

I have an x58 system.. asus p6t with x5670 and thermal take smart 650 watt psu.. i think my x5670 is not good in overclocking because i was able to achieve 4.2 ghz at 1.38v .. lowering voltage then this affect the stability.. now i talked to someone who is ready to exchange my x5670 with an x5675 which is according to my research is a mad overclocking cpu.. i wanna know is it mostly the cpu which effect the overclocking or it could be a mobo.. according to my knowledge asus x58 mobo are good in overclocking.. so i am thinking it is my cpu.. not the mobo.. and i should give x5675 a try.. what do you think?

4.2ghz is good...

mobo definitely affects it as better vrms can handle better overclocks.
