yep, this heavily depends on your particular CPU. no chip is the exact same, and thus no chip will overclock exactly similar to another. the only real way to find this out is to buy all the components and start OCing!

 

I'm thinking 4.5 should definitely be doable in most cases though.

Depends on your CPU. Some get higher, some lower. 4,5-4,8Ghz should be in reach

With that cooler 4.4-4.5 will likely be your limit depending on your other heat generators(vid card) and ambient temperature.

In betQuite will reach 4.55 - 4.6 Ghz

Try from 1.30v  don't try above 1.33v

Ok ... in AIO Cooler you can got about 4.75 to 4.8

Seriously, there's only one person that can answer this question: yourself. We can do tarot guessing, but only one that can really say something on the matter is YOU.

 

Just go out there, get your CPU and:
