A while ago I got my E6300 to 2.8GHz but i'm wondering where I go from here to increase the overclock even more. Some screenshots that could be handy:

You look like you have good temps. Also Intel 65nm's are sturdy little guys, and you should be fine up to 1.4-1.45v.

Maybe try 3.0 and then 3.2+ if you're feeling adventurous? :)
 
Do I need to just up the FSB without changing anything first? As when I did this overclock I followed some guide that said when it gets to 400FSB I would have to start fiddling with memory to overclock higher.

Also when I boot it says my RAM as PC2-4200 instead of PC2-6400
 
might need to loosen the timings on the memory as they are running at their specified speed at the moment.

might need to adjust memory and chipset voltages slightly.
 
The memory default timings are 5-5-5-18 @ 800MHz (FSBx2) so if you are upping the FSB over 400MHz the memory may not like it even at higher volts, you could try 6-6-6-20 while going for a higher CPU clock.

I have similar mem but with default timings of 4-4-4-18 and that runs fine at 5-5-5-15 @ 1000MHz 2.1v.

Good luck with the 3GHz+ overclock! :D
 
my e6300 is running at 2.98GHz 24/7 no problem but I just got my q6600 and asus p5q-e yesterday. I'm going to rebuild my system tomorrow, can't wait. = )
 
for what its worth i got my e6300 upto 3.32ghz 100% stable, upto 3.4ghz when orthos stopped working etc.

that was under a tuniq tower 120 so you should have more room for scope under good w/c
