Right got bored so I thought I'd try some overclocking on my cpu which I've been running at stock since I made my system,

Result:

I have a Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler with a 120mm fan stuck on which I've now set the fan at near full speed, so suggestions comments anyone? Oh and the case is the original CM Stacker in case anyone asks! Cheers!

EDIT: I haven't changed the voltages yet as I've been told not too till the system doesn't boot up, I would like to say I'm aiming for 2.8ghz then that'll be it.

You can easily overclock that to 3GHz :p

Mine's only at 3.2GHz, but that's because I'm only using it with an ASUS P5K :(
 
you have a good mobo and cpu so if you got a good cooler, you should be able to get it to 3.4ish easily.
i have a q6600 B3 at 3.3GHz with 1.39v

also what ram have you and what speed is it?
as 4 sticks of ram will require more northbridge voltage

for 3.0ghz just change the fsb to 333, so 333 x 9 = 3.0ghz
your system should handle this easily, maybe even at stock voltage, if not just add a couple of notches

just leave your ram at stock speed
 
here are my settings for the q6600 G0 i used to have on the same board, the only difference was that i had 1066 ram



the sunbeamtech core-contact is a good cooler so you should get it over 3ghz without any heat issues.
 
Posting off my phone as my system kept BSOD'ing, guess it was unstable, right wad wondering would I need to change the ram settings at all voltage and such or timings to get stability or just a matter of core voltage?
 
what speed is your memory at right now whilst the cpu is overclocked? The first time i tried oc'ing i forgot to change the SPD and my memory was running far too fast, it should be at 2.00.
 
if you are running 800mhz ram at 900 as your cpuz link suggests then i would think you will have to adjust timings and/or voltage. or put the divider down so it is at 667 to start with before overclocking.
 
stick it on the one which gives you closest to 800

the divider that is showing as 700 is actually the one for ddr2 533 but shows as 700 now as you have increased the fsb.

the one up front it should be 876 or so with that fsb which is the 667 divider.

you would be better going for 9 x 333 as you ram will sit at 800 then using the 667 divider.
