I just build ( in late november) my first computer. I got an asus maximus formula se mobo and a cedar mill 631 pentium 4, only to hold me over till I can get a new 45nm quad core, but I have been messing around with overclocking and this thing must oc like a chap because I can go from stock at 3ghz to over 4ghz and have no temp increase... i was wondering if this is true for all processors, can they all be pushed this far so easily. will I be able to push one of the 45nm quad's like this?

and how far could I push this processor w/o damaging other things like say my 300$ mobo

other info:
idle temps: 16C at stock, 18C at 4ghz
load temps: 23C at stock, 25 at 4 ghz
(load means playing crysis)
case (which is what i attribute this amazingness to) xclio windtunnel
zalman 9700NT*
1kw psu
8800gt
4gigs gskill 1000mhz ram
vista ultimate x64

Not trying to sound like an ass, but id put money on your temp monitoring software or your sensors being incorrect. to get 16 C idle on a pentium 4 would mean youd have to have an extremly cold room and a lot of luck
 
thats just it... my room is extremely cold... like 68F, and Im using pc probe II from asus, and Ive used pc wizard, both say the same and the heat skink is cold to the touch even under load...

I also thought it was crazy that you could push a p4 this far because thats all everyone complained about is how crappy netburst was, but this is a 65nm processor so idk
