jaydee116, I am trying to follow your logic.

" I totally disagree that 1C will get you any more mhz as I have been OC'ing since 25mhz DX comps where out and 1C never made any difference. In fact 3C never made any difference. But 4C on up can and I have definatly noticed it in the Durons 600/700/800/850/900/950/1000 CPU's I have used and the T-Bird 1400 and the XP1600+ in the last few years. 4-5C "

If 3C never made a difference for you but 4C has, then this is a 1C threshold that you are describing that once crossed, you believe will give a better overclock. My question is how do you know you will never be already at this threshold and 1C more is all you need to go higher? If in fact you are sitting at this threshold with an aluminum block, then a copper block would put you over it and get the better overclock.
