does anyonr think it would be possible to go from 3.2 Ghz (stock) to around 5ghz on air? or close to it?

Yep It's possible if you have a really good air cooler.

Noctua ND-14 is good. Prolimtech Megahalems is best though.

It is possible with a good cooler. I see that you have a i5 650, me too. Good luck getting that to 5Ghz, you might not be able to achieve that, but you will be able to get 4.0-4.5Ghz. Right now mine is at 4.1Ghz @ 1.35V.

I have reached 4.01 on stock air... would like to push it to 4.3 was curious about an ambition of 5 for bragging rights... may not attempt it till I can get some sort of water cooling in my vulcan lol
