probably not far because:
1. it's a volcano and those are poo pooey for overclocking (much at least)
2. airflow in the case is a necessity... for the hsf to properly cool the cpu draws cool air down onto the cpu (most cases) if that cool air isn't there it blows warm/hot air and that doesn't cool as well
3. i ran outa ideas but i wanna beat the person who says ya... get the volcano whatever # it's a great cooler

The Volcano 6 should be able to take around 100-200 Mhz extra than the stock speed b4 if fail to keep those soaring temp down. And of course, a better case cooling help.
