well good luck as the 680i chipset sucks ass, always go with intel they are the best atm. as for a good OC i had a 650i with a q6600 and thermaltake WC and could only reach 3.0ghz, as soon i i went to a intel chipset 3.6 was easy. erm id say be happy with 3.6ghz atleast you have a good processor, with the 65nm if you only want to keep it for a couple of years 1.6v vcore is fine.
