2.8ghz overclockability?

[vrau]

I just got a new case with 4 fans pushing 35cfm, a 2.8ghz 800mhz fsb northwood and the slk 947u with the stock fan pushing 110cfm. What would be about the fastest i could get this up to with out it dying in less then 2 years?

overclocking is luck

id say 220fsb is a def
230 is a most likly
240 is pretty sure
250 is max with air

On air, maybe up to 3.6 gig.

 

[vrau]

so is that 3.6ghz with a life of 2 years???

No, the P4 should last way beyond the time when you next upgrade. Just don't raise the vcore over 1.7 volts.
