    If it means you get a properly functioning system, then who cares what they do.

    I am not a fan of torture test software, but in gaming for long periods so far at 166+oc+TS going I've been stable on stock RAM. Need to bump the RAM soon and hopefully it will all be good.

    If you've OC'd to 166, then you've already bumped the RAM. You won't be able to squeeze anymore out of the RAM unless you swap to HyperX memory or something even more aggressive (ie/CAS5).

    Though it' not as great as some of the overclocks posted here, I was able to squeeze out another two mhz after I put these badboys in. Two Kingston HyperX 4gb sticks for a total of 8gb altogether. The thick heat spreaders on these BARELY fit the m11x.

    [​IMG]

    I was able to overclock to 158mhz without BSOD'ing before, but I'd get an error in Prime95 after a couple hours. Now I can overclock to 158mhz safely with no errors after testing for HOURS in Prime95.

    However, 160mhz and above still BSOD's on me... :(

    Still happy though!

    On a side note, that's my awesome leather Oberon Kindle cover in the background. :)

    Just got mine (i5, 8 gb ram), but tried OC for the first time last night. Played SC2 for about 45 minutes on high settings and played portal for about an hour after and have yet to blue screen at 166 MHZ...so that's good news.

    I have a stable 166 (no TS just yet) and have been playing Source games, SC2 and Hot Pursuit (the latter 2 are very CPU intensive) since my system arrived in the mail a few weeks ago.

    Before I change my motherboard, the highest I can go is only 156 MHz
    After the dell engineer swapped my mobo I get 166 MHz stable!
    Although it's stable while playing NFS Hot Pursuit, I get BSOD after the Bad Company 2 launches.
    So, the stable clock is 164 :x
