I'm curious to see what they get. Simply say your motherboard and cooler.

I don't have one but I can safely say they easily reach 4Ghz...

add 1 ghz to their base speed. pretty much that's what you do with every processor basically.

965 - 4.2GHz (with LOTS of cooling - it runs kind of hot).

I hear the 975 gets quite a bit higher though - it's the newer D0 stepping which should overclock higher with less power and heat.
