    Personally, I would go with something a bit better mate. like a Taisol, SK6 or even an Alpha. ;)

    How much you can overclock depends on so many factors - that heatsink isn't bad (so long as the heatsink - fan alignment is good in your case/mobo combo), so just keep pushin her until either the comp becomes unreliable or your load temp goes above 50 deg. C. Cheers,

    yes, ive used a zalman flower heatsink before and you have to get the airflow comming in from directly from ontop of it to get the full effect. the person that i build the system for now has 450cfm+ ducted onto it, keeps it at room temp
