I haven't tried for 3 ghz on mine because someone is interested in buying it so I don't wanna run 1.5v or so throught it & pass it on. You really ought to consider some form of water cooling. Mine was only $149 & it's doing a fair job
i actually saw the Corsair Nautilis at Frys in houston and was thinkin about. i think the sweet spot for my chip is 2.9 @ 1.475v with mem @ 210 MHz. i can get 2.95 @ 1.55v but its too much. im sure after a month of usage i will probably be able to get there eventually.
