Quick question for the group!

Is the stock cooler that comes bundled with the E4500 actually up to the task if I decide to overclock it? To put it simply, I’m thinking about picking up the CPU and giving it a little nudge—nothing crazy, just tweaking things without cranking the voltage past 3.0. Will that be enough to keep things stable, or am I going to need to shell out extra cash for a Typhoon cooler?

Model: Dual-core 2×2.2GHz
Socket: LGA 775 | Clock Speed: 2x2.2GHz
FSB: 800MHz | L2 Cache: 2 MB
Package includes: Heatsink and Fan

Greetings, overclocking community!

I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand with overclocking my ancient AMD Athlon Thunderbird 998MHz (if I managed to figure out the math correctly, it’s running at 750*1.33😬).

I'm in the process of upgrading to a new rig, but since this old machine is still kicking, I'm not ready to retire it just yet—I want to squeeze every last drop of performance out of it first.

Full disclosure: I've never actually attempted overclocking before. Feel free to hit me up via PM if you have tips.
