Dual-Core E5300 Itx overclock?

You could clock it to 3.0Ghz on stock voltage and as for the cooler well I don't think it will do a better job than the retail one.

How much space do you have available for the heatsink, and what airflow will there be over it from other things? ITX generally means 17cm square boards and very small cases, which doesn't often mean overclocking. If you want no fans whatsoever then which case do you have in mind, as entirely passive is very tricky and probably reliant on using the case as a heatsink.

This one does well passively with a 775 dual core in a case with good airflow, but it would do poorly in dead air.
