I'm currently running a p4 2.53 ghz and am looking to overclock. it's already runing anywhere 20-30 degrees celsius. I used silver compund and used that Zalman fan. link to heatsink i'm also looking to upgrade my motherboard from an intel d845gb to the asus p4s8x. how far will this processor overclock without trouble.

Hello and welcome to the forums. :)

Even though the P4 2.53 CAN be a good overclocker, it's impossible to say how far it will go as every CPU is a bit different from another "identical" CPU.

With a good mobo and cooling setup, you should be able to get another few hundred MHz out of it. Others will chime in here and give you reasonable expectations, I'm sure. Good luck. :)
