Is it possible to overclock this processor to 4.00 ghz with air cooling? If so what do you recommend I use?

I dont feel like spending close to and over $100 on cooling alone otherwise i'd go watercooling without question. The only articles i've seen where they OC it this high have been with watercooling.

What i'm planning on doing is using asus's P5N32-SLI Premium board and buying this and some vid cards cards in SLI and later on upgrading to a E6600 or better Core 2 when I have the money. Since I only have agp now and have a 22 inch widescreen LCD I can't run at the optimal resolution for that anymore.
 
If this helps any I just bought a Freezer 7 Pro and it brought it form 55 to 45 degrees. With this cpu at 3.2 I get no movement in cpu temp at all. Maybe can get it up to 4?
 
i read one site that said they got up to 3.8 with that specific heatsink but no higher, if i can't get up to 4 i'll probably just default to that.
 
Well, I could get to 3.6 with stock volts, but getting to 4.0 required me to increase my volts by nearly .2! So I just let it be at 3.6 instead of getting the extra, pretty much unneeded 400mhz from it.

So really, I doubt you can get 4.0ghz on air unless your proc doesn't require you to go higher than 1.55vcore like mine does.
