I don't wish to cause any discomfort to all of you overclocking enthusiasts. However if you have a stable system that is fast, efficient and lets you accomplish all your tasks with consummate ease is there any point in overclocking?
 
Oh okay for instance you buy a Q6600 for x amounts but you can get the same performance out of that if you overclock it than another CPU that costs 3X amounts.

Saving yourself costs with a higher performance.
 
Bit like going down the high street you wouldn't pay more for something you could pay less for that looks and feels better.

The key with overclocking is monitoring and education. I'm a novice and it would be a little risk overclocking my 6600 unless I did both of these.
 
tbh it took me a few weeks of asking questions before i got around the basics. im still a novice but just dont stick too much voltage though stuff and dont let temps get too bad and there aint many things to worry about.
 
I would keep it below about 60-65c load and 1.475-1.5v. Most q6600s will do 3.2ghz on very little voltage increase (1.3-1.35ish)....after that more voltage is usually required
