Well, I am using an IC7, 2.8C, 512mb Geil pc4000, Thermaltake SP-94 with 92mm Tornado, and I can only get to right around 3.4ghz when it starts to become unstable. That is with a 1.7 vcore. I am currently running it at 3.37ghz(14x240) at 1.65 vcore. With that stock hsf, you will probably only be able to take it to like 3.2, possibly higher depending on your chip, and case cooling. Good luck.

Just to let you know the HyperX PC4000 is the most unstable ram out there, since it's using 5.0ns Samsung ram, which is just like some generic Samsung PC3200 ram with heatspreader.

I hate my TI4200.

They slapped on some a heatspreader, and tested to see if they overclock to 250mhz, if it does, then PC4000, if it doesn't then PC3700, still not stable at 233mhz, drops down to 216mhz, if it's still NOT stable, then they just mark them PC3200, at 200mhz.

Ok those were lies, but it's true that they use 5.0ns(400mhz effective) on their 500mhz PC4000 rated ram. They error up a lot at "stock frequency" in MBM5.

I hate my TI4200.
