These are the new components I have ordered for my PC: Athlon 64 3000+, Soyo SY-CK8 Dragon Plus and a BFG Fx5900 400/800 128 MB. I use Arctic Silver 3 and my case has great air flow with 3 extra fans installed.

Has anyone OCed these Athlon 64s? I have been out of the loop since the AthlonXPs have been out, so I dont know if there is something special that needs to be done on this processor. I have read a little about their abilities to OC, but nothing mentioning some kind of brige or anything. I have also read that these BFG 5900s are nice OCers.

I have done this before, as far back as the AMD K-6 IIIs and old Geforce cards, so I believe I can handle whatever needs to be done. Any tips will be appreciated.
