Hi... I had that one... I pushed it from 2.4ghz to 2.94ghz... with Cooler Master Mars cooling temp was 50C loaded... I had asus MoBo, the bad one, but i think my vcore was on 1.55v with cool&quiet turned on, FSB was 248mhz (stable)... It worked graet...

If your MoBo is good you can sertanly push it higher... Good luck

I had some mem problems... But it was crapy Kingston i think...

And unless you have a case with great airflow, DO NOT GET THE ZALMAN 9500! I made the mistake of buying that expensive sucker and I load at 70*C right now with only 1.392v on my Opty. There is much better coolers out there for the same price or less:

Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Tuniq Tower
Thermalright Ultra 120

Just to name a few. If your case isn't a huge case with great airflow, I'd suggest the Big Typhoon out of all that I listed. And put a better CFM fan on it.
