I find the hardest part of OC'ing is how time consuming the Stress Tests are...if you fail you have to run it all over again with adjusted settings.

Yeah, And you do it all for that what 10 extra fps? I am only doing it so i don't bottle neck my gtx260's in sli. If it wasn't for that i would just let it go.

Your E8400 running at 3.4 - 3.6 Ghz is adequate and will alleviate any potential for a "bottleneck".
