1st overclock!

[Otaku Punk]

Just got my first decent overclock, a 6300 at 2.8Ghz! This is all with the spec in my sig, and running with stock voltages and the stock intel cooler. I was amazed at how willing the chip was to overclock, but after a 6 1/2 hour prime 95 (one for each core) it returned no errors!

Is it worth trying to push it further? Will i get much more out of this setup? Or should i quit while i'm ahead?

An easy 3 ghz is to be had out of your setup, more likely a little bit more. Keep going until you start getting errors. Congrats btw
