    I'm air cooling my Core i7-950 with a Thermaltake Frio, using a Sabertooth MoBo. What sort of frequencies could I get up to using this combination?

    4GHz at the bare minimum. Its very CPU dependent over 4GHz, but a Frio is a great cooler.

    Yeah understandable it's very CPU specific, how easy did you find the Sabertooth to overclock? Is the BIOS a jumble or pretty well organised??

    Asus have great BIOS and nothing is better than the Sabertooth. You should be fine.
