Hi, I have a question, because I´m planing to buy a P4 system, which I like to overclock slightly...

As much as I read the speed of the P4 CPUs is mostly limited by its Vcore-issue (causing NSDS). Otherwise (if u could run it at 2V) you could easily reach 4GHz+ without much heat (water should do). So what sens does a Vapochill (and similar) cooling solutions on P4s make? I´m just curious...


The other question is: I´ve allready ordered a P4 2.8 M0 CPU (with P4C800). I decided to buy the new Coolermaster Hyper 6, because watercooling seemed to expensive to me.
Do I have to expect problems (heat) when running the CPU at, say 3.6GHz?
What is the limit with Aircooling (a very good one,though)?

And: Do you think there is a chance to attain 3.6GHz without being lucky to get a very good CPU? (At 1.65Vcore/Max)
 
your proc is going to run rather warm at that high fsb and voltage. I wouldn't say it isn't feasible, but your ambient temps are going to have to be low.
