I was having trouble getting my E6750 on my 680i past 3.6Ghz. A month or so after I installed aftermarket cooling on the 680i and started overclocking, the 680i started to BSOD and then after that it wouldn't post. The BSOD error was something to do with an error transferring data from the hard drive to RAM(I searched it up, the error had the words kernel stack, I forget now). I RMA'd it with EVGA (had an pretty good experience with EVGA's customer service) and got a 780i SLI.

Anyways, will the 780i overclock any better than the 680i? And, what differences are there in the actual process of overclocking from a BIOS standpoint? The 780i runs pretty hot, but I can't find aftermarket cooling, so what do I do about that?

I'm still a little scared about OCing because that MIGHT be what killed my 680i, so any advice to prevent the devastation of my new motherboard would be helpful.
