Overclocking is definitely impressive. With cheap aircooling, we were able to take our P4 2.66Ghz processor to 167mhz FSB transforming it into a 3.34Ghz chip easily. With Prometeia cooling, we got our Chaintech 9EJS1 Zenith to run up to a stable 182mhz FSB and get our processor to run at 3.64Ghz. A full 1 Ghz overclock!
Snippet: "Getting an unlocked Intel engineering sample processor to run at 182mhz fsb is normal for most high performance board but for a locked cpu to run at 182mhz is quite a feat. Not only that, at this fsb speed and with the memory ratio at 4:5, our memory bus is running at an amazing 228mhz DDR or 456mhz at CAS 2-2-2-5 stable and rock solid! This is the highest ddr memory bus speed we have reached in our labs to date."

Methinks Coolermaster are better than Lian Li...
As for impressive overclocks, current Thoroughbred B XP1700 are often making 2.4ghz on air cooling, not bad considering it's a £45 processor rated for 1466mhz.
