Hi all, i need some help overclocking.
I understand the principals of overclocking and how it works but have never done it myself before, so i need as much help as possible!

Build
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 DHX PC2-6400C4DHX TwinX (2x1GB) (2sets)
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz
Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
LG GH20NS15 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan - 3 Pin (3 fans)
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)
Asus Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card (Low Profile Compatible) - Retail
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-620HXUK)
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66R-02034)
ALL AIR COOLED

I will recieve my order friday, obviously after building it il be looking to overclock, but nothing major as i want it to last a long time!
A good example would be a maximum of upto 3ghz on the CPU, and any other changes that fit with that. (or is that too high?)

NOTE
Anyone giving information please be specific as im a noob to overclocking.

Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

I used to have a P5K and hit 3.6Ghz stable on my setup with a Q6600. So your target of 3Ghz should be easily attainable.

As wolvers stated, read the FAQ and it should tell you everything you need to know. It's no good us just telling you the settings, it's best if you learn and understand whats going on with your rig. :)
