Well just a few questions,
Following some of the overclocking guides here it is quite easy to up the clock speed of the processor. Got the 6600 up to 2.7 no problem it seems to be idling around 33 degrees, load roughly 40's, although have seen it hit 50degrees. Looks like there is plenty more room there and I will up the clocks slowly over the next few days.

However I should be trying to get the most out of my memory, its the Dominator pc6400, 2*1gig sticks. What would be the recommended timings to start trying out? Should I set the voltage on the memory or leave it auto?

Has anyone overclocked this memory on this board?
 
I set mine @ 2.1v,have had it running @ 2.3v but i have the fan cooler that`s used for this ram.

Set your ram in bios to linked and then up the FSB and see how you go from there.
 
You should be able to get past 3ghz with the 6600.

As for ram, I have the EVGA 680i board and currently have my dominators set to 800mhz 4-4-4-12 under 2.0v which is nice and stable with my 3.15 ghz 6300

I'm going to try to reach 900mhz and then leave it at that.
