Yamcha, from the Temp Guide:
Section 12: Overclocking
Every CPU is unique in it's overclock potential, voltage tolerance, and thermal behavior. If the maximum stable overclock is known at
1.35 Vcore, then each increase of
0.05 volts will typically allow a stable increase of ~ 100 Mhz, and will result in a corresponding increase in CPU temperatures of
3 to
4c.
Ambient and
Vcore are the
most dominant Variables affecting temperatures.
At
1.35 Vcore, ~ 300 Mhz of additional overclock remains until
Safe Scale is exeeded due to increased
Vcore. Example; at
22c
Ambient, if a CPU is stable at 3.0 Ghz -
1.35 Vcore @ 100% Workload, then it may also be stable at 3.3 Ghz -
1.5 Vcore @ 100% Workload, with
highly effective CPU cooling and computer case cooling.

B) Masscool Shin-Etsu X23 can reduce CPU temps by ~
4c compared to Arctic Silver 5, which is far more popular than it is effective. The first link shown below is to a very in-depth Thermal Interface Material (TIM) comparison that was posted 2/2/07 on Tom's Overclocking - Cooler and Heatsinks Forum, which was conducted by
DaSickNinja. This 6 page thread is very revealing, however, the review has been moved to the second link shown below, Xtreme CPU.

Masscool Shin-Etsu X23 Thermal Interface Material (TIM) can reduce CPU temps by ~
4c compared to Arctic Silver 5, and is simply the best TIM for CPU cooling.
