First OC, few questions

[Shaye87]

Hey,

I want to overclock my Intel C2D e6600 CPU so it will reach 3.0 GHZ, currently stock with 2.4 GHZ.

I never done any OC before.

Mobo = GygaByte 965P-S3, and the CPU as above e6600, got arctic cooling freezer 7 pro.

Can I OC the CPU to 3 ghz easily?

I got this software that came with the mobo, can I use it to OC?

What temps should I be expecting to get, currently on idle cpu = 40c.

And regarding the picture ^^^, what if I just use the "easy mode" to OC and keep an eye on the temps?

Thanks!

i read it, now basically from what i understand:

my multiplier = 9, bus speed = 266 mhz so that gives me 2.4 ghz.

i want to raise my bus speed to 333 so that 9 X 333 == 3.0 ghz

full spec;

mobo gygabyte 965p-s3

twinmos ddr2 667 mhz 2gb

8800 gts

e6600 and artic freezer 7 pro

enermax libarity 500w

Yes that is the way it works. You shouldn't need to alter any voltages to reach 3ghz. Happy clocking

Thanks
