It may do 350 with water but that'll be pushing it because you also have to take into account the voltage required for the CPU to be running from 200fsb to 350.
Most Conroes that go from 266fsb to 400fsb (A 144fsb increase) need at least 1.55v so, I don't think an E4300 will ever see the light of 400fsb or more. Unless someone were to use phase and a vmod.

We shall see Nasgul. Keep in mind that the E6300 is stock at 1066MHz FSB and the 4300 will be stock at 800MHz FSB. This is a major difference and with a higher multiplier and lower FSB there could well be higher overclocks on the 4300 than the 6300 considering Core Frequencies.
The FSB is a major hurdle in getting the E6300 pastd 3.4Ghz or so and this will not be the case in the 4300 certainly.
Time will tell though, won't it? I bet it clocks very well on air. Certainly I believe it will clock higher (Pure Core MHz) than the E6300.
Regarding the FSB of 400Mhz. I believe that this will be no issue whatsoever and I am willing to bet good money on this. On high end air I think that this will be obtainable. So if you want to put a few dollars on this, PM me and we can discuss details over the phone my friend
Both Core2 cpu's I have need less than 1.4V to make the 400Mhz fsb. I think that most Allendales can take 400MHz with low core voltage and remember that the Allendale is a 2MB part not the higher multiplied 4MB Conroe.
