So how has everyone been?

I have a new mobo (ASUS Crosshair/Thunderbolt) and a new video card (Gigabyte Radeon 7970) and later this week I should have my new CPU (FX-8150) and dual SSDs (Corsair 256GB SATA III). I was wondering how the OCs are going for everyone around here? What speeds are people reaching with a solid air/lower end water? What temps should I be looking for? Any tips or tricks you can pass on? I haven't seen the options or setting yet, but if they are anything like the Phenom setting, I will most likely need a hand or 2 ;-)

Thanx all.
Seems the CPUID links don't work anymore. And since I can't link a URL here, guess you don't get to see my OC ^_^

AMD is generally 4.4 intel SB 2.5 2500k and 2.6 2600-2700 with almost no issues (its very rare your CPU won't do this) Over that it's your luck with the CPU which exact mobo you choose and how much ram you install. With good cooling and luck most people hit 4.7-4.9 Ghz rock solid stable 24-7 with Intel and very slighty less with BD.

Thanx!! What temps should I be looking for with a new AMD FX-8150? What's the upper threshold I should be looking for?
