how high do you think a 3.0C could go on air?

Zalman 7000CU to cool her off, what do you think the highest it could go would be? Corsair XMS PC3500 [rated 2-7-3-3 @ stock]
 
I got one I was building recently up to 3.6GHz, but with a different cooler. The Zalman it probably the same quality as the SLK900U I used. The nice thing you do not have to worry about is burning up the processor. If you saw that movie at tomshardware, you know what I am talking about. Definitely start around 3.3, and go from there. Nice choice on RAM, I am using that in a new puter I made from mostly spare parts.
 
I have the same stuff, on an IC7-G... Running the ram at 2-2-2-5 @ 224mhz 2.8v , I can get up near 3.4ghz, with Street Racer GAT settings. Anything past 224mhz results in random restarts, and memory errors in memtest. Maybe if I relaxed the timings\GAT I could go higher?

Nevertheless, I don't do anything that requires even 1ghz of computing power, so getting 3.6ghz is just pointless endangering of my precious rig.
 
The average 3.0C overclock (at Overclockers.com) is 3557.

One guy in the Overclockers database reports a 3800 overclock for a 2.4C on air!!! How's that for long odds? 🙂
