Cool, thanks. How stable are they? Do they need to be babysat?

More likely in the 3.5TH range, with overclocking. Unless you live in the arctic, the Bonus Neps like to overheat/shutdown due to KnC not including thermal pads. You'll want to install good heatsinks, or upgrade the fans, or both, depending on how much you want to spend. (listed in order of cheapest to pricey) Once you get them running, they tend to stay running fairly well. They can lock up every once in a while though.

Cool, thanks. Has anyone sourced replacement thermal pads? Fucking KNC.

The pads are 5mm thick I believe. Just search on ebay - there are a couple different brands available. Get the ones with the best w/mk thermal conductivity. The other option is to get some 5mm tall heatsinks and mount them onto the vrms. Here is an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8x-Pure-Copper-Memory-Chipset-Cooler-HeatSink-Heat-Sink-For-IC-DDR-RAM-VGA-SDRAM-/171317955844?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27e3588d04

Hope this helps.
