You can see my Computer in my sig. Last night I finally decided to see how well I could OC my cpu with just air cooling (I have a 80mm fan in the back, one in the front and a Zalman big ass mofo on my cpu)
Before tweaking clock speeds I checked my temps. 31*C on the CPU and 36*C on the mobo. I started with 10Mhz at a time then got impatient and bumped it up to 300Mhz (to a total 2.3Ghz or 3300+ equivillent)... no my computer Idles at 28*C cpu and 31*C mobo!
I ran a burn for 10 minutes and the cpu never broke 40*C
The only thing I did other than overclock was clean out my heatsink a bit as it was hella dusty.
