I agree with slaymate on this. I work for Navy Federal Credit union, and up until acouple months ago my team (network/application management) built all of our own servers. (The buracrats took over even further, and now their is a whole new team dedicated to building our app servers, and to say the least, they are pants-on-heads retarded. BUT back to what I was saying; Even in the hot environment of a multi-processor server (each one running 2-4 Xenon duel cores, which were stock 2.66ghz, we overclock them to 3.0ghz. Now this may not seem like a huge number in gain, but the performance increase is phenomenal, and saves us money in the long run.

On a home pc note, the sky is the limit, the only processor (of late) that I have managed to fry was a Phenom 9850BE (it was a 2.5ghz stock, I had it running at 3.3- on a water block that was slightly too small. (also i pumped too much voltage through it, and instead of leaving it alone for a min when it would auto power off, I proceeded to keep boot cycling it ROFL.
