I want to anounce I went somewhat nuts and overclocked my HOT Celeron D early build of Presscott. Maximal frequvency of CPU was 3.6 GHz so... I moved from underclocking at 1.9 GHz to 3.8 GHz. Funny thing was the temperature was lower than with original cooler when I forgot to apply silver paste between cooler and CPU. Voltage dropped from 1.375 (lowest possible on my motheboard) to 1.288 It was perfectly stable. (It has recommended voltage 1.3 V) The reason why these temperatures were so low was Ninja plus from Scythe, and Arctic silver 3 or 5 paste. CPU is back down because it's spring and I don't need additional heater running, it's however quite useful in winter.
