noob here, been contemplating oc'ing for a while. And after reading about the performance on the e8500i decided to dive in. Now i want to oc my current setup to get some practical experience in, and im wondering before i start how far do you guys think i can push a system like this?

e6600 @2.4 (air cooling for now, gonna get a Cooler Master Hyper TX2 perhaps)
ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus
Corsair HX620W 620watt psu
2gb skill ddr2-800 ram timings are like 5-5-5-15
8800gts 320mb card

I'm going to do more digging through this forum and some other places before i start, but i was wondering what i should expect to achieve from this setup. And would like an opinion from you guys.
 
it's hit or miss....anywhere from 2.8 to 3.6 (very, very, rare on air cooling other than the highest end coolers, like the TRUE

pelteir cooled, it would be quite easy.

watercooled it would very easy
