Well, I overclocked my system for the first time on Saturday and was surprised at how easy it was along with how stable the system was. I watched a video on youtube of a tech from Asus using this board with an Intel chip to overclock and followed his lead.

Here's where I'm at right now, haven't tried to go higher:

CPU: 3.76 w/ 1.25 voltage
RAM: same as stock (had to increase on board though, as board set it low)
GPU: the two cards are stable at 700 and 1200, and I think they can go higher.

As for temps, the CPU and RAM stay pretty low (under 40 most of the time)
GPUs will vary, but I can crank the fan speed up and keep them around 50.

Suggestions/comments are welcome. I'd like tips and tricks for overclocking the memory or what I should do to take the CPU further or what voltages to avoid, etc.
