E6600 overclocking

[djh82uk]

Hi All

Finally got my new pc, I have:

P5Q Deluxe
OCZ flex 2 pc9200?
E6600
GTX260
Silent Knight II cpu cooler

Now I built this system based around having a quad core but could not afford it when I ordered and did not want to wait, so I thought I would use my existing lga775 cpu which was a Pentium D 2.66Ghz, did not work as the cpu runs at 533fsb, so swapped for my mates e6600

So far I have it running at 3.30Ghz with no voltage mods, just had to set the memory so it did not go over 1200mhz as it would not boot.

My question is, is how do I get it higher, what do I need to change, I have seen people hit 3.7ghz but I would be happy to hit 3.4 if possible. My temps are low at 38 degrees under semi load (playing cod4) and 39 degrees while running the vista cpu test,

also what sort of results have ppl had overclocking the GTX260 (zotac)

thanks

ok, just ran prime 95 and temps hit 52 degreesm at what point should I worry?

My old P4 3ghz used to run at 82 degrees :S but that was cos of crappy cooling

Ok, lots of replies

yes voltage is set to auto and it is supplying 4.12v atm, Where do i start in selecting a voltage to start at, then decrease it until it become unstable?

I am oc'ing via the bios btw as the asus utility sets the memory clock too high and it won't post.

tho i must say I really like this motherboard.
