Can I overclock an i7 860 with an Intel H55 motherboard?
The motherboard isn't the best choice for overclocking. Additionally, what type of cooler is used with your CPU? To effectively overclock a CPU, you need a good motherboard and a suitable cooler in that area; otherwise, performance will drop significantly.
That motherboard isn't really suited for overclocking either. What kind of cooler is installed on your CPU? To properly overclock a CPU, you need a good motherboard plus a decent cooler in the same area, otherwise you'll reach your limits quickly. I'm using a pre-built PC, so I don't know the exact model, but I do know there are fans involved :/
