Bulldozer overclocking no longer a doubt

Might be slower than Intel in many of benches but something about 8ghz sounds like fun to me.

I have been looking at 990FX, looks like fun to me as well ..............

and a ROG board for 220 bucks = WIN

I dont normally recommend, but if you can get a gigabutt board like the ud5 for cheap do so. its to pricey at retail cost... (2 bills on newegg) but at 40 lower.. the power train is excellent.

Intersil PWM controller, Vishay/silconix MOSFETs, nichicon/Fujitsu solid caps and for hte p-fets, niko semis all around.

Only issue I can see, and its not written.. I cant find a data sheet on the intersil... is it might be a 0-70C temp range based on its GCRZ controller, the AIRCZ ones are rated to -40. And that close to the CPU... might be an issue.
