Crepuscule

What factors/parts should determine whether or not my system can handle 3600 ? Just the motherboard and its VRM? Edit: also, should my RAM being (not) on the QVL affect its overclocking ability?

Thanks for posting, your story's very useful. I was just wondering if, with additional updates, you've seen additional stability (e.g longer stable memtest times). Have you also been able to OC this to 3600MHz? I've bought this RAM model recently and am thinking about returning it.
