Hi I was woundering how far would I be able to overclock my sig computer.

The temps on stock are 40c when surfing net or just idle and about 50c when load.

My PSU is a usicase 500watt .
 
If those temps are from an AMD processor, not very far at all on the cooling you have now. If you have an Intel processor, you'd be looking at a 10%-15% overclock (by my gorilla math) without needing a new cooling setup.

EDIT: Just read your sig. I wouldnt o/c your machine more than 200 mhz. It would probably reduce the life of the processor dramatically.
 
Your milage may vary.

I highly suggest you buy a good psu. hop on over to the psu section.
 
Yeah sorry I am going to be buying a Swiftech Watercooling kit once I buy my Xbox360. I am also going to be buying a Thermaltake PurePower 600watt psu or something similar.

What's wrong with the temps are they crap for an 3500+ Venice, my cooling in my case is not that well sorted out at the moment, I have 6 thermaltake Silent case fans by the way.
