You should try getting some Engineering Samples bcavnaugh, these OC very well, there is a tweaked Bios for this mobo that allows you to OC these CPU's as well btw, only advised if Seti(At)Home or Folding(At)Home is your main purpose.
If you seek pure stability and the greatest lifespan don't OC pack it with tons of Ram and faster 6300 series 16 Core Opteron MP CPU's.
