As it is a dual-core hot rod able to heat even cold Beijing winters, and probably melt some icicles off the Great Wall along the way, I expected it to overclock only slightly, or not at all, when using the supplied Intel stock fan. So I minimised on all the rest, using just two sticks of Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 RAM, and Sapphire X1600Pro graphics.

Unfortunately there is no mention of stability in the article. Running an overclocked CPU in the BIOS for 20 minutes is a lot different than running Folding@home or Prime95 24/7 stable.
