There are many resources available on the web.

http://www.overclockers.com

is a great place to start. They have reviews of water coolers and peltiers, and just about anything else you need to know. If they don't have info on something, they'll likely have a link to another site that does.

Using relevant key words in a search engine is also important for finding information (I prefer google). If you checkout the CPU Database on

http://www.overclockers.com,

you'll see that only one person out of 21 made it into windows at >= 2.4ghz and the average OC speed was 2,062 mhz.

The odds are against you, good luck.

Hi SSJpn;

For my money, any perceived increase by OC'ing is usually offset by system instability.

And of course all this exotic cooling doesn't come cheap! about the same price as a faster chip!!!! lolol Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.

Yeah but when i upgrade to my 2.5 chip i can use my water cooling to OC that. And they won't have chips to buy that run that fast...
