p4 2.8 overclock question

so has anyone bought a p4 2.8 chip and overclocked it to 3 gigs or more/what kind of cooling did you use?
 
imagine when the 2.0a and 1.8a's get the c1 stepping...I think the c1 stepping seems to be getting these chips to 3.2ghz as I have seen this number now a few times including with ppl with 2.5a and 2.66b's....With the 1.8a we will back to the days of 1200mhz oc's like my 1.6 almost gets....

 
You lost me wolv!!! Aren't the 2.8 p4's c1 stepping chips like all the chips that came out at that time??? Ie 2.66b, 2.8b, 2.5a and 2.6a???

What makes you think you will obtain any better then you had???

What fan/heatsink do you use? The one that came in the CPU package? I am running the P4 2.8 at a temp. of 55degrees and more... is this normal? How hot does yours get? Didn't overclock anything yet. The system is brandnew. And I'm brandnew to overclocking.
