if you get 4ghz stable on aircooling then be thankfull.i can almost bet that you will get 3.8 fairly easy(read a few hours of work)
add a couple 120mm fans overhead to drop temps by 10+ celsiusD.S.C-12(2)-disclaimer : whatever u do with your hardware/software is your

IN MEMORY OF HOW BM WAS TREATED HERE...
I reached 4GHz when I built my new system. I was stuck at 3.9 for ages, it's nice to pass that psychological barrier!
My 3DMark score is just freakin rediculous![]()
I wonder what speeds we would be seeing today if technology had stuck with single-core CPU?

I'm currently at 3.6GHz w/ a base clock of 200
I haven't yet tried to increase it further because I'm working on lowering my temps right now, but once I'm done with that I'm will make a run for 4GHz
