Q6600 + Stock Cooler = What Overclock?

[JonnySUFC]

I just got an new system and i bought an Artic Freezer 7 Pro for my
P5N32-E SLI PLUS i could not get it to fit, but then theres others which can but geez i dunno, so im using the stock cooler, i was wondering what overclock could i get without messing around with voltage or max oc with Stock cooler, would be a better question, Also im using an Antec 900 so i have good cooling, also ill just tell you my temps atm (Stock Speeds)

22c - 28c Idle (Jumps)
30c - 40c Load (Call of duty 4 for few hour)

40-47c With Stress Test for 1 Hour (100% Core Usages)

Thanks Jonny.

At a guess probably 2.8-3Ghz if you don't mind temp in the 60-70C under load.

What bit couldn't you get to fit on the Arctic? Spatially or couldn't work out how to get it attached to the motherboard?

Well my friend built my computer up and he said he got 3/4 of the clips to clip to the motherboard, but on the last clip some of the heat pipes block it, or it wont push down without bending something.

Had exactly the same issue with that cooler on my DS3. Load of rubbish Just didn't fit.

I'll be overclocking a Q6600 on the stock cooler soonish. Be nice to see what results you get.

I have a Arctic on a DS4 upstairs, aren't they similar sized boards or is the DS3 cut short?

what temp monitor are you using?
core temp is the best i have found speedfan was way off for me
im getting 55 load and 38 idle with a tuniq tower and a case with bad airflow
