Limit for Phenom II X4 B50

Hi,
Just wondering does anyone know how far I could overclock an unlocked Phenom II X2 550 with a Freezer 7 pro rev 2?

Not sure if anyone will be able to tell you exactly how far you will be able to overclock, as it differs for everyone.

But I've also got an unlocked phenom II x2 550, and would be interested to know if this cooler would be much of an improvement over the the stock cooler? My temps max out at about 61 degrees using prime95, when unlocked, at stock speeds.

How much do think this cooler might shave off that? As I fancy getting the temps down enough to try overclocking the chip, if only a little. But also on a budget so I don't want to spend the earth!!

I would guestimate 10c - 15c from stock load.. that's given my experience of the cooler and that CPU but never used together

My idle temperature is about 29 degrees with the F7pro, and Prime95 runs at about 48 degrees
