How does this seem for cooling an overclocked 2.4c?

[aggressor]

I currently have a 1900+, and it sits @ 55c in the BIOS, with the case temp at 30-32c. Case has 80mm front\back fans (Panaflos).

I am going to be getting a 2.4c and hopefully reaching past 3ghz with it.

I am currently considering the Thermalright SLK-900 heatsink along with a 92mm Panaflo that does 42 CFM, do you guys think that would be enough cooling?

I cool my 2.6C @ 3.34 with an Alpha 8942 and a Panaflo M1A 80mm (32 CFM). The Swiftech MCX 4000 is even better.

Seems like I should be okay then. I hope I can get 3ghz+ out of it

I'm currently running at 3.3GHz with the STOCK cooler. I've taken it to 3.4 stable, prefer the lower temps and higher memory ratio (4/5 instead of 2/3) at 3300MHz. My temps are nice.

I didn't catch the mobo you're running, but if you're running an IC7-G, your temps are probably (or definatly) not @ 55c as that board overstates the temps big time. This is an issue admitted to by Abit, and apparently they are working on a bios fix for this. In the meantime, I'm suggesting using a 4:5 multiplier on the IC7-G temps as being more accurate than the bios temps.....

rofl, uh... with that setup you are going to get 3 ghz... just don't skimp on ram.

How much past 3.2 ghz is the question... most people can get 3.3-3.4 on air (ram problems aside)... If you're looking for 3 ghz, you shouldn't be let down.

I got some Twinmos CH5 sticks. I think VRZone got one to around 260mhz...
