Probably up to 500Mhz (4Ghz) but youll need mighty skillz and voltages for that.
The new batches of Dominator 800Cl4 can very erratic when it comes to high overclocks. Pick Gskill HZ to truly shine with the 680i.

I think I'm probably just going to go up to 3 ghz then since I already ordered the ram. w/e is stable yet faster then stock is what I'll try to get. 4 GHZ seems a bit on the risky side and I don't think games even use that much lol.

Actually anything above 3.5Ghz becomes VPU limited for the great majority of games. So you ordered the Dominators?

ya, since if I already ordered it and I'd have to return the ram and the motherboard since it was a combo and I'd have to deal with alot of customer service and restocking fees. Still happy with my purchase though.
