no worries. well it varies from chippie to chippie so you wont get to 4.4 for sure lol.

3dmark stresses the system further and simulates gaming under stress(aka a good thing)

I'm quite sure the 560 is more overclockable than the 530, and after 5 hours of prime95 the max temp is 50 at 4.2Ghz, so, I'd say still plenty of room to play with

*puts on the sound of chickens.

cool. as long as you watch the juice,meaning stay clear of 1.5+ volts if you run it fanless or very low rpms on the fan, you should be fine.

UPDATE: After 2 hours of Prime95 and 2 runs of 3D Mark 11 the max temp I reached was 55°C..
(To me it's impressive, I was used to the i3 530 on stock cooler which was regurarly on 50-51°C in full load, at 2.93Ghz, and now I'm getting pretty much the same temps, but on a 4.15Ghz overclock)
Should I keep going with the OC?
