Well hopefully the SB750 will help with the htt clocking as I think thats the biggest problem when it comes to boards booting.

I can confirm my 3.2+ ss are just bench stable, but I'm not fussed with lower clocks, I can't tell the difference between 2.75Ghz Phenom, Phenom 3+ and my e8400 @ 4Ghz except in benchies.
Phenom 2.75-3.25 is bout 1500 3D Marks in 06 and finally starts nippin at the e8400's heels
