What kind of overclock can i exspect

[Rob71282]

Hello i recently build a new gaming rig using the following hardware

Asus rampage 2 gene
Core i7 920 d0 stepping
thermaltake 850watt tough power
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Triple Channel (TR3X6G1333C9)
GTX 275
Intel stock heatsink

I read that the gene mobo can get around 4.2ghz but at the moment im using the intel stock cooler. I be replacing the thermal paste with arctic silver 5. Also is my ram good enough for overclocking? This is my first pc build so dunno what sort of overclock i should exspect to get using this setup

4.0 is usually a given with the d0 stepping. You really should get a new cooler if you're OCing though.

Your RAM will do the job, 1600 would give you more breathing space though.

Tbh, reapplying the thermal paste on a stock cooler isn't worth it. Buy the titan fenrir if you're overclocking. With the stock cooler, you won't really get anywhere because the i7 is a hot chip.
