Unbelebivialable!

But yeah, I guess just about any "pro" overclocker just has to grab a Scythe cooler and put this on their most successful overclocks and bingo. There's no way you or me can win, 2.3ghz or 3ghz, some guys hit 3.6. :x

LOL! If someone got 3.6Ghz on air, they would be a god!

My 520 will do 3.7ghz on my Scythe Katana 775 without even breaking a sweat. I keep it around 3.5 most of the time though. Then idle is 39-41c and the load is never over 53-54c. 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.

Have you guys ever seen the CPU-Z records? If I remember correctly, the highest frequency they've ever recorded was 8Ghz or something crazy like that. I'm sure they had to have had a phase-changing system to achieve that though.

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
