How can I o/c my 3500+ (NC) to 2.6 Ghz on Air?

Well uhh, so far, my max seemed to reach at 2.5 Ghz, which was stable on the Prime95 test that was 7 hours long... But my goal is 2.6 Ghz. I have reached 2.6 Ghz though, but it can't ever pass Prime95 for more than a minute. Unless I lower my command rate from 1T - 2T. My CAS for the 2.5 Ghz was 3-3-3-8 1T, but I really want to try to reach 2.6 Ghz... I maxed out the voltages on my K8N Neo2 when I tried 2.6 Ghz, but no success. My temperatures are really fine, since a Venus 12 was meant for performance, and 9 fans keep my computer cool at 20C, which is really goood..... So... should I just leave it at 2.5 Ghz or should I really attempt 2.6?
 
I think you might be reaching the max for a 130nm chip. To get the FX-55 to 2.6 AMD had to use strained silicone. I don't think there is a big difference between 2.5 and 2.6 ghz performance wise

Well, uhh... update, I think 2.5 Ghz is my wall... since only 2.5 Ghz can actually pass the Prime95 test without the piece of crap.. For your question though, let's just say I would trade it for a Asus A8V anyday, along with my PC3200 being PC4000, kingston, ocz, crucial, whatever.. My 3rd thing I don't like, is my PSU, lol... So cheap...
