The Idiots Guide to Overclocking a E6600

[jdderbys]

Is there a complete idiots guide to overclocking a e6600 available and what is the best overclocking guide you have seen?

Only reason I ask is im planning on trying to get mine to 3.0/3.2 and I understand some of the stages but im not sure I know enough to try.

I was just wondering if there is a complete step by step guide listing the steps in a ‘just follow the instructions’ kind of way with no thought needed?

Depends on the ram/motherboard you're using.

The ins and outs of overclocking are largely the same for desktop systems in this day and age - even some server/workstation kit, too. All it takes is a litte (and I'm talking nano-metre scale) lateral thinking and Bob is your proverbial...
