SP94
Depends on the CPU, if it isn't a good one you may top out at 3.4, if it is a good one you may get 3.7. You won't know until you try

SP94 is a good option....might also look into a Zalman CNPS7000-Cu.....quiter, cheaper, easier to install

thanks for the suggestions on the hsf but how would i go about overclocking it, i have no clue where to start

What motherboard?

its pretty easy as long as you know your way around bios. and i am gonna have to suggest the zalman 7000alcu. its just as good as the all copper (maybe 1 degree hotter) but its half the weight.

my mobo is a Intel D865GBF. and i am familiar with the bios, can anyone send me a link of instructions

AFAIK, you will be limited to a maximum OC of 4% with that mobo using the BIOS Burn-In mode.... You will need to purchase another mobo for more serious OC'ing.
