OC help

Heres what I have going on...

4200+ 64 X2 AM2 oc'd to 2.7 with just air cooling... runs at 50c at load
Zalman Ultra Quiet CPU cooler, CNPS9500 AM2
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition
xFx 7900gs... two of them doing the SLi thing togethe... stock fans on both
2 gig's of 'crap' ram. ddr2 533 stuff. 4 sticks of 512
Monitor is Princeton senergy714

Have a 'crap' case too with one side fan blowing on to the cpu/gpu area and 2 fans blowing out of the back, with one fan on top that blows in with a vent. 2 Hd's one is 80 gig other is 320 gig. 2 cd drives, one is a write-able DVR one is write-able CD, both name brands. I'd rather not do the water thing, I know it works well and all that good stuff just dont want to mess with it at all. I'd spend a few hundred on a new case if it would help at all. I run 11900 on the 3d5mk05. The thing gets 112 fps running around in Iron Forge casting spells on a mage with 20 - 30 people running around on my screen. Not trying to blow out the back of my pc but would like any input anyone has. I do want a new monitor but I'm not really looking to get one ASAP cause the one I have works great for the games I play.

Was just seeing if the overclock didnt seem like too much or if there was anything else to do.

Well you could splash out for better cooling but other than that, aside from raising voltages and whatnot...you're done

i tested my am2 4200 and i reached 3ghz, but is not very stable

2.7 is ok, considering the odd multi on the processor

4200 is not exactly best amd processor ..so buyed the fx62 at 60% of market price from ebay, brand new ..

and as was sayed before.. you are covered, if is stable at 2.7 then that the limit .. you can try and burn it ofc

hope you turned off the cool and quiet....
