overclocking gone wild

[coltoe]

I read that someone overclocked a E1400 (1.4 gzh) to (3.2 gzh)...
I do not think I would go that far...Question is...How far can you overclock safely. Exaple I need to buy a E1200...E2140...E2160...E2180...or a E2200 can be overclocked over (3 gzh) The other question is there a percentage of overclocking? Exaple a safe overclock is a 10%...20%...30%...90% gain or more.

how far you can overclock depends on how good of cooling you have and the processor it self. like the e2160 should get to 3ghz but you will want a really good heatsink. i have a e6750 and i cant get to 3ghz cause my cooler stinks. other than that a safe overclock is a stable overclock. i use orthos to test my processor, but prime95 is a good program too.
