	They will never give estimates for overclocking. It really depends more on the cooling type you will be using and the individual processor. But id say anywhere from 2.8 to 3.1. Closer to the lower end methinks.

	For better overclocking result, go to the 780i. For best result on air, use a 780i, 850 case, and stage 3 cooling. You'll want the enhanced fans with an 8800GT SLI package.
