Hey guys, 

 

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/p8y6CJ

 

Just wondering if this PC's Motherboard and CPU are Eligible for Over-Clocking. 

I would also like to mention before anyone jumps to answer that I have a water cooling Unit that can be applied to where ever needed

and there is a built in CPU Fan.  (And is that fan removable so I can use the water cooler on the CPU?) 

 

P.S. I'm New to the whole Over clocking thing.

 

 

Thanks.

The motherboard is, the CPU officially isn't - but motherboard manufacturers are trying to circumvent that limitation.

if you chose an Asrock Z170 board you'll be able to overclock the CPU even if it isn't unlocked.

Not just Asrock.
