Conroe Overclocking Guides?

[xFlankerx]

I've been looking for a guide to overclocking a Core 2 Duo processor. So far, I can say that I have only found a few good overclocking guides (in general), and they all apply to Athlon 64s and are most of those are situated on this forum. Infact, 3 specific guides on this forum are all I used to teach myself overclocking on Athlon 64s. Nowadays, I help others build computers, but I find that once they're built, the people have no idea how to overclock. Now I don't want to sit there on AIM for 2 to 3 hours telling them what to do, much easier to direct them to a guide (or 3).

So, as mentioned above, I've been looking for Core 2 Duo overclocking guides for beginners like those that just now found out overclocking existed. Something like these 3 guides would be nice;

Overclocking Guide. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=263753)
A64 101. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=306418)
Easy as 1,2,3, Overclocking the A64. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=391768)

Those 3 guides up there are what I used, in that order, and what I 'prescribed' to anyone else that wanted to learn overclocking. I've heard A LOT of praise about those guides from the people that I showed them to. They're that good.

I'm looking for something like that for the Core 2 Duo.

If nothing else, I've been thinking about writing up a guide myself based on the methods and ideas used by those guides.

Thank you for replying. Yea, I found that guide just moments after I posted this. However, I'm looking for a guide for someone that is very new to overclocking, and looking at that guide would just scare away a lot of people, I would think. I remember how I felt when I started out, and I would have given up looking at that. Not saying that its not a good guide, its nice, especially with the feature disabling section, but not as beginner-friendly as I was looking for.

Maybe I'll just use the generic "Guide to Overclocking" that I linked above. It applies to multiple platforms and gives a nice intro to the subject.

looking at the toms hardware guide, I have a noobie/out of the loop question?

In the 150 dollar range whats the best board there, or are the abit, asus, and Gigabyte all good choices?

( I'm looking at the Asus P5BE which isn't listed, the abit AB9, and the Gigabyte 965P-DS3)

I've looked around here and there but i'm just getting confused...

a lot of people have had good luck with the DS3 and the P5B-E. i believe the DS3 is cheaper, so I would go with that, unless you need/want the features the P5B-E has.
