It is possible, but the higher you OC, the more of a risk you run, not only in temporary glitches, but you can damage your CPU & MoBo. You will get better cooling with a better heatsink, obviously, and can therefore OC better, though important alsois proper case ventilation, as the other components, including the Northbridge on your motherboard, get hotter as well the higher you overclock (when OC-ing with the FSB). A good solution would be the Thermaltake Volcano 9, as it is temperature or manually controlled, and offers 75cfm at 41db, for a price of about $30 (check out http://www.3dcool.com/?module=product&cat=5)... there are a bunch of other solutions, but it all depends on the price you willig to pay, as well as whether you care about noise or not. All in all though, the Volcano 9 is a good buy.
Staggering out of the shower this morning, I hear the hair-dryer. "Whose awake?" I think... Till I realize its my computer - talk about a windtunnel
