Welcome

You won't get much more than 3ghz with that motherboard I'm afraid.

As Cob says, aim for 3Ghz and you'll have a result on that board.

That's as far as that board will go. It wasn't made for clocking quad-cores

GA-EP45-EXTREME should be here next week happy days !!!! any good cob?

Yip it should be grand. The P45 based boards are eating Q6600's for breakfast.

Avoid nvidia boards if you want to oc a quad, i had the evga 680ia1 with my current q6600, it was a terrible board for overclocking the quad, too much v droop and the north bridge got to hot, eventually my nort bridge chip on the mobo died. luckily my ram was ok. the 680i was a nice board to overclock for a beginner on my dual e6600 but ive been kinda put of nvidia boards after buyin my current asus p5q deluxe

Even with a huge copper cooler and a fast fan on it the NB on my 650i board gets roasting with a quad (q6600) and won't reliably boot above ~356x9 (3.2gig). Think I'm gonna try a E8400 on that sucker - even tho its not on the supported CPU list.
