Hi,

I'm running a 2600k on a P67 Sabertooth with 8gb of Mushkin 991829 996829 DIMM DDR3 (2GHz) PC3-16000 (7-10-8-27).

I originally was running oc'd at 4.6 with 1 ocz vertex2 90gb ssd system drive. Then I upgraded that to a raid0 with 2 of these drives.

The 4.6 'seems' extremely stable i.e. I have run prime95 for over 8 hours, passed Intel burn test on high etc. Yet, around once a day or something an app will suddenly become unresponsive, like outlook - then a few minutes later chrome will etc. until the whole system is hosed and I have to hit reset. I'm starting to think it's the raid0 on ssd and not the overclock. But for now I've reset bios to default.

It would be great to see a list of stable overclock settings for this mobo/proc combo listed here so if you have some numbers please post them, I'll post my stable numbers here in a bit.
