It depends on the cpu, followed by the cooling. A standard GT will dissipate 160-180w of heat which in most cases is enough to clock an FX57 to 3.5ghz stable - Stick a converted chilly1 unit tuned to 215w and you have more potential.

Too much. More than a whole single stage unit off ?????? or ?????? I think.
There are CPU and GPU sizes but I think they have the same structure.
When you take into account the shipping and potential customs charges, not to mention the possibility of damage in the post from overseas...
I don't know if I'd say TOO much but it is expensive. I'd personally say that if you want the best in single stage, then getting an upgrade to the evap head along with the regass is what you'll need.
However, if you just want a good improvement and extreme benching isn't what you do, then just the regass to 507 or 402a will be sufficient.
I've been working with 402a for a while now though, and the pressures it puts on the unit, along with the extra mods needed to make it work, aren't really justified. 507 I think is really good enough anyway.
Funny though, that a mod in this forum, which is connected to a store that sells PC cooling and upgrading, is telling someone that they should look elsewhere for their cooling needs. I think there's something wrong with that. I bought a unit from the shop here, and had it upgraded by fatty before I started doing work on these units myself.
Just seems to me that the members of the forum, and the moderators that administrate it, should have a certain respect for the owner of the business that supports it.
My 2 pence.

why does the chilldy 1 head cost so much? is it that majorly better, (i know who chilly1 is im just wondering how much better it really is)
The design of the C1 head holds load better coz of the surface area design. The stock Mach evap head design is pretty basic. Most aftermarket heads are better than the stock one...Chilly just has a good name.
i`ve thought about designing my own Evap head, and I`ve had permission granted from Dabit to use his design (prob just for myself), but if it looked worthwhile, I`d ask him for a license to "mass"- produce for folk here if they wanted.

You're quite right and I'm sorry. I'm glad Mav edited my post. Personally I don't approve of the way chilly1 sells the heads for so much and makes these mods ridiculously expensive. It probably is because he wants the business directly and I'm sure most members of this forum would rather pay fatty to do it for them than pay for shipping to America and back to let his little scheme work. In the end the cost from the UK would probably be about the same. i agree a R507 mod would be the much cheaper and easier option. i also agree with fatty that removing the IHS is a good way of dropping temperatures. Be careful: SD cores crush easily!

the thing is is that, what i dont think people are getting is that there is more work than many poeple know involved to fit a head, fatty gary and phil here all knwo to well what is involved, i am 99% sure what involved and although to some popel it looks easy from pictures a imaghine a lot of skill is involved!
Chilly has made him self a good name via teh work he does, for example his ln2 tubes are expensive and not the best around just like his head for a mach 2 unit aint always the best one but the most well known i think.
Chilly's work is backed by many years of work and experience and is like any "brand" so to speak it is estabilished on a good customer base much like here @ ep. Phil may not be the cheapest for what he does but the work he produces and the service provided with his product are second to none.
I know teh above is a little off point but i think you know what im going on about or atleast i hope you do.
Chilly's heads are very goodand although teh conversion is expenive it is a sure way to get colder temps, some people are not affraid of cost, some are... all in all i think you need to decide weather it iis worth justfiying the money for phil to fo it or chilly him self although personally id get phil to do it as there is less chance of it getting broken in transit
