Not too shabby... my 1G Athlon went only 200mhz more so that might be as far as that will go, however you might try getting a new HS... though you never mentioned what you have...

I wouldn't worry about 50c on a t-bird. It'll work fine.

So you need better case airflow? (and maybe a better HS, that thing looks like iffy though not THAT bad).

You gotta test for stability, the best recommendation is get Prime95 and run it for 12 - 24 hours on toture test. If Prime fails your OC is not stable/successful

right, so since taking your sidepanle off helps THAT much you need better airflow so you can keep your sidepanle on...

The Coolest is right however my testing method is just if it crashes/programs crash, ever, if that happens and it isn't due to some cuase that I can pinpoint I lowe rit until they stop.

If you want a good excuse to do some modding, start by putting some fans in the side panel of your case, to draw cool air into your case... since a difference of 7c with the side panel off/on is quite a large one!
