Should be able to push farther as temps are still under control, ive just been too lazy to care as this thing is so much faster than my q6600 ever was. Running at 3.2ghz (dummy overclock in bios) daily as its rock solid stable and still plenty fast.
Just because your temps are under control does not mean you will be able to get higher clocks. After a certain point more voltage to your components will not gain you anything in OC ability. I cap out at 4.2GHz on air (good for bench, not for 24/7).
