My brand new E6420, EVGA NF68-T1, and 4 gigs of Mushkin eXtreme Performance came in today, and I'm looking to start overclocking with it as soon as I get my video card back from an rma. What I'm wondering though is, how high is it possible to expect the processor to go on the stock air cooling. I have a Cooler Master Aquagate mini that I plan to install eventually, but I'd like to get everything working and know for a fact that I can overclock decently before I start pushing it with the water cooling (and I may need to buy a spare intel bracket and more thermal paste >.>). I know it's impossible to say what a processor will overclock to beforehand, but I'm just curious as to how high is average under the stock heatsink,
