my 2.4c D1 is currently overcloked to 3.2Ghz. ram timing is 2.5-3-3-7 and divider 5:4. my ram is OCZ platinum EL PC3200 rated at 2-2-2-5. my processor is running on stock HSF and just recently i have cleaned the surface of the cpu, so there is no more cooling cream, only pure contact between the cpu and heatsink. on idle, the temperature is 40 while in full load it's 50. so far so good as it is stable and passed all tests.

my question is can i go higher without risking of damage to my cpu. how high can i go with stock HSF. i'm sure i haven't hit the wall yet, but i don't dare to push higher, risking my components.

any advice will be appreciated

there's a discussion over it here

Intel has just stamped their own doomsday.

i did. i just found my tube of el-cheapo vantec thermal paste that came with my Vantec Iceberq fan. it was meant for GPU. but what the heck, i just applied on my CPU. seems like no difference
