    GPU oc I game at 550 cpu / 890 mem / shader is something like 1320 or something. Stable, no issues...

    If you are trying to OC and crashing be sure to disable the stuff you are not using in bios. This will allow you to free-up some power to the video card.
    Example - disable blue tooth, external lan, etc...

    some games locks up the whole system with the slightest OCing, i hate that. MWF2 and TF2 tends to do that.

    Depends on the game. I get artifacts (or whatever it's called when the game starts freaking out visually) on Left 4 Dead if I try to go anywhere above around 840 on memory, but on Crysis I can overclock it a bit more. I could be wrong because I haven't done a lot of testing, but it seems to be only when the memory is too high that I get problems.

    So it's something like 550/8??/1320. Haven't tried pushing the core and shaders much higher than that.
