I really don't want to seem like I'm crapping on anyone's results... But I've found it totally impossible to get a truely stable overclock beyond 457 fsb... I can get into windows at 500x8 and run super-pi, test prime stable for several hours... These forms of stress don't really seem to simulate actual load any more... But really loading up my computer with Linpack proves instability rather quickly... Or attempting to play crysis will crash me also... And almost invariably the computer randomly locks up(indeterminate amount of time)...
My whole system is watercooled, so I've even resorted to trying rather ridiculous voltages, all the way up and down the tree...
Anyway, I think the short of this is that I think people need to stop using superpi and prime as methods for testing, as they no longer properly emulate load situations.
