noctua make great quiet coolers. as far as oc goes what mobo you got?
what multiplier does the cpu have?
i have a p43 chipset on my board, and a multiplier of 8.5 on my q9550, the p43s struggle past a fsb of 412 i can get 410 stable(no matter what vcore or mem voltage i set). the p45 boards clock a hell of alot better, with good cooling 420+ fsb should be easy.
dont know if your a noob to ocing but make sure you set your pcie to 100 before you start. i can push my fsb well past the 412 wall with it set to auto but it'll shaft my sata drives and gfx card up if i do.
i'd never mention this again if i were you, the pirate police will be after you
