I have just recently ordered a oem 920 and I plan to push it up to 4ghz if everything cooperates. The Katana should handle that also.

Just in case though, I saw that Frozen CPU has the Thermaltake Silent water on a blue light special for $69. I may buy one and just put it on the shelf in case i need it.

That's like, not so impressive. We're talking about A64's. 8)
Besides, I love 805 OC'ing. It's just so helluva funny to see those whip higher CPU's that are way more expensive. =D

My bad.......i didn't realize this was an AMD only thread. If I had known that , I would have stayed away by instinct. LOL!!

Most intel people would know that 3.7 on a 520 on air is pretty good though.

I'll make sure I don't step into the wrong pile in the future :>

Most definately not an "AMD only" thread... This is in the cooling section

AS for the original topic of the thread, seems like an interesting idea, but I liked NewEgg's case modding contest better.

Lol no that's not what I meant. I thought maybe you just misread and thought we weren't talking about A64's and said you got 3.7ghz on air without looking. My bad.

Too sad alot of those cool contests are USA only, even if i'm not the best in the world i'd like to try my hand at some, sometimes. =/
