I started with an i3-530 and found a really nice i5-750 deal and two weeks later, I started to overclock it to see what kind of numbers I'd hit. I am quite impressed!
Don't know if there's a general show and tell type section but here's a quick shot of some of the components:
Core i5-750 under a Scythe Mugen 2
G.Skill DDR3 1600 CL7D
Gigabyte P55A-UD3
CPU-Z validation:

Temps are quite nice so far. With a room temp of 25C, case temp is usually 0.3C higher even though the motherboard sensor shows 30C. CPU temp (external) is 23C idle and 45C on load.
Core temps are below (Core 0, 1, 2, 3, min and max).
For LinX (default settings):
32 - 29 - 33 - 29
58 - 57 - 55 - 55
Prime95 (blend)
31 - 29 - 32 - 28
52 - 51 - 51 - 50
IntelBurnTest (Memory on 2047)
31 - 29 - 32 - 28
58 - 57 - 56 - 56
Full CPU load generates 185watts and 70 on idle so this is quite nice
I'm going to try to keep it at around this speed and work on lowering voltages.
Will post more results and configs later but with the World Cup, I find myself having less time OC'ing
Thanks for looking!
