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:

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
 
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
