Then I read a few posts by people that had overclocked theirs for a few months only to discover it became unstable and remains so even at the stock speed.



My Q6600 ran at 3.2GHz for quite a while with no problems and my Xeon 3110 has been running at 4GHz+ for a bit. I just do it for the fun of it, in day to day use, you can't even tell the difference. BTW, the 280 is now running at 689/1483/1300, knocks over a F@H work unit in less than an hour and a half. I can't believe how fast this thing is :-o
