Sandy Bridge BLCK overclocking

I was wondering, what are peoples stance on BLCK overclocking on the Sandy Bridge platform?

Currently I have my 2600k running at 4782.5 mhz - 106.5 BLCK + 45x Multiplier. All at acceptable temperatures and 1.32 Vcore. No errors or instability noted.
RAM Is running at 1700mhz (9, 9, 9, 24, 2T)

Its fine no problems.

If its stable don't worry on Ivy I go upto 113blk without problems on Sandy around 105 is my sweet spot.

Never had a problem with BLK clocking at all and it gives you more flexibility with memory frequency instead of the standard dividers.

Have quite a few rigs at 105Mhz-ish over a year now easily with not an issue in sight.

Ended up blue-screening at 106.5 Base. Ah well, 105 isn't bad.

I get all kinds of instability if I have use anything other than 100mhz over 4Ghz.

I think I'm at around 104 just to give my ram a bit of a speed boost. Won't boot over 105 though so I assume its my ram crapping out
