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....

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.
