It never gets that hot, absolute maximum it gets is 25C. It's as low as 17C but I like it 21-23C

Well regardless there is no one answer - every chip is different.  You might be really unlucky and struggle to get another 200 MHz out of it, or you might have won the lottery and can get it to like 4.8 GHz or something like that.  I think typically 4.6 is pretty doable on those on air, but there is never any guarantee

It also depends on your room... if it's really hot all the time like 30 C you won't get as far as someone at room temperature

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Thank you! Well I'm not eager to crank it up, its my first PC so I'm going to be really safe with it. But its nice to know its a possibility in the future. I know I should probably get liquid cooling instead but I've heard too many disaster stories of leaks destroying everything! I'll see how I get on with the 212 Evo to start with and I can always upgrade in time.

That's not too bad! Good enough to start with anyway. Its my first PC so I want to be safe, I'll start with the 212 evo for less than £30 and I can always upgrade to maybe a corsair H110i in the future.
