Hello!
Supposedly, the Agena isn't great for overclocking. A 9850 is usually OC'able to 2,8-3,0 GHz. My stock settings are 201 MHz HT bus with a 12,5 multiplier, making 2,512 GHz, temps are fine on stock cooling. What I heard is, that Agenas heat up drastically if you increase the voltage even a little bit. How far can I go without overvolting or burning it? Which (air)cooler should I buy? (I once bought a Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu, which didn't fit on the M2N-SLI. I'm also planning on buying a Cooler Master HAF932 for better air flow.
Any opinion would be much appreciated!

The agena will max out around 1.4v @ 3.0Ghz if you are lucky...

Don't give it more than 4.125v cause you will hit a wall and will not see a performance gain whatsoever.....As far as a cooler you can get a Sunbeam CCF or an AC Freezer 64 Pro :

Thanks a lot, mate! The Sunbeam CR-CCTF looks really good.

Hope to reach a 14x CPU multiplier.
