It all depends on what your chip can handle. The only way to find out is trial and error so keep raising that frequency and tinkering with that V core until it crashes or gets too hot :D

With that cooler, I think 4.5GHz will be the absolute maximum that you can achieve. Sorry mate, but that just isn't a performance cooler. You could achieve 5GHz on air, but maybe with a NHD-14 or something like that. Of course it all depends on your chip as well so...
