overclocking I7 (noob)

[chriso132]

Hi im new to overclocking, this is the new system im getting in a few weeks -

Intel® Core™i7 Processor i7-920 (4 X 2.66GHz)
6 or 12 GB CORSAIR XMS3 1600MHz
1792MB GEFORCE GTX295
Antec Nine Hundred Black Gaming Case
ASUS TRITON 81 PURE COPPER BASE ULTRA COOLER .

i was wondering what i could overclock the processor to with the type of cooling. i dont want it to be at risk, just a little overclocking.

Thx

What Kind of temps are you getting on your OC'd CPU spitzoid

idles at 40c, load 85c.

probably too high for some peeps but no crashes yet.
