Re: [OC] Best hardware for overclocking Phenom II 720

I'd get a 790GX chipset (Biostar) which will allow the ACC option in the BIOS. This will help with your overclock as well as 'potentially' unlocking a 4th core on that X3.
As for the ram, I'm running fine with my 8 gb of DDR2-800 Mushkins, overclocked slightly from 200mhz to 230mhz. Of course it all really depends on where you want your HT to run. The higher mhz, the better.

Be warned though. I've read that someone messed up their overclocking potential using just 3 cores, when ACC did not work for them.
