say I wanted to Overclock an AMD Athlon 64 (3400+). How hight could you get it or average without over heating in a micro atx case. fans thats would be used are

60x60mm / 5000 rpm / air flow 27~

there are 3 of them in the back and I think 1 80x80mm front fan
this is just a question in case latter i had the wacky idea of doing it.

Probably not very high. Generally processors tend to heat up pretty badly in mikro-atx cases, and having a 60mm fan for the processor will not help alot. In normal cases with good cooling and ventilation they seem to clock up to about 2.4-2.5ghz but I would'nt expect to get that far.

You can still probably get better performance by lowering the multiplier and going for high fsb.
