2.3GHz is chance if you get the right cpu, and you'd need watercooling to run stable.

To answer your question in one sentence.

If you get a good 1700+ you should be able to run around 2.2 fine.

I'd say if money doesn't count get a SLK-800.

If the budget is tight get the AX-7 $18 from SVC.

Thermalrite sk-7 is about the minimum that you could get 2.3ghz on

if you have the money go for a slk-800 or slk-900

also use a smart fan 2 with either sink

I would get something like the Koolance Exos, a self contained water cooling rig, or build your own from www.dangerden.com. You would even have difficulty keeping that cool with a MCX-462 heatsink. Go water cooling.

Thank You,
