I built the rig in the sig a few weeks ago. I'm very happy with the performance and the OC is Orthos stable at 22.5 hours, the longest that I've let it run.
I had a problem with S3 standby from the very beginning. Stock clocked or over clocked it would crash coming out of standby 100%. Hibernate would crash and restart sometimes going in and would crash and restart about 50% on resume. Very frustrating. I was blaming the video drivers since my previous build (AMD/nvidia) would sometimes not reinitialize the display coming out of standby and it definitely changed behavior with different video drivers.
Yesterday I found
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889673 and installed the hotfix. Standby works perfectly ever since!

I have not tried hibernate again, since standby works so good now.
I hope this helps others who were frustrated by this issue.
