I decided and put up a new pc . here are the specs.

Thermaltake armor LCS.
Asus p5q pro
Msi Radeon 4850
OCZ ddr2-800mhz 2x2gb
Thermaltake toughpower 750w sli certified
Raptor 74gb 10k rpm
Intel E8400

How much do you think i can push it?

On stock the cpu runs at 25c

    3600MHz is a safe bet. 400MHz 1:1 synchronized bus with the 8400's default 9x multiplier should get you there.

    The chip could probably do 4GHz without breaking a sweat, but you're a bit limited by your DRAM only being DDR2-800.

    As i stated above i am using the Thermaltake Armor LCS. i am using Liquid Cooling System that is embeded on the case. looks similar to the thermaltake bigwater but with double radiator , bigger pump and bigger tubes.

    Nice case. Should be a real fast system.

    yeah. Its actually pretty fast without ocing it. I wont oc the pc right now as i like to let it work at stock for some time. But when i do i wanted to know how much it would be safe

    Oh gotcha. I saw Tt Armour and thought it was just the case. Forgot they did liquid cooling as an option.

    Safety is going to be determined by a combination of voltage and temps. You should be able to keep your vCore under 1.4v and your temps under 55C and be bulletproof.

    Since my very first pc build, I've overclocked them before I've even install an os lol. I usually have found a safe overclock in my research by the time the components arrive. I don't give much credence to the burn in theory,
