What should be looking as a good overclock on an i3 540.
4ghz as all ways been my goal with CPU's and this thing went in on first try at 4.2ghz stable with 1.301 Vcore on a very bad cooler with temps of 69.5c using core temp 4.45

how much could i push it before passing the 1.4 Vcore safe point?
What should i think of as a max temp for this chip

i have an i7 but when OcUK was selling this chip off at £35 i got 2 of the 3 for sale to use for stock PC's in the house for the wife and kid. but you always need to have a play don't ya ;)
