Conclusion
We used Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 processor for evaluation of overclock possibilities and we managed to achieve incredible 558MHz for FSB. Yes, you read it correctly, 558MHz, so because of that we think that this is the best possible shopping for users with limited budget that want to overclock their new processor. The price is little below 100€ and Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R motherboard because of that and all other characteristics deserves our recommendation in form of InsideHW BestBuy Award!
