Well, that's an open ended question. You can push it until it dies. You can push it to amazing speeds using dry ice, liquid nitrogen, or a true phase change system. What speed are you looking for and how much money are you willing to invest?

Well i will be OC it for HWbot, and on the money, I would love not to spend much of anything.

3.2GHz is about the most you could expect using standard cooling, and that would be a reach.
