Hello everyone

New to this Forum and also to overclocking.

I have an Asus P5E3 Ws Pro motherboard, Core 2 Quad 6600 processor
and 4Gb Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz RAM.

The Processor is 2.4Ghz by default but someone told me it would be
possible to overclock it to a safe 3Ghz. However I am a complete newbie
on such matters and would like to know if there is an idiot's guide that
would clearly explain what needs tweaking in the BIOS. Better still to hear
from someone who has already done this on similar hardware.

Much obliged for any assistance.

Jo.

:welcome: to the forums!

Read the "Sticky" Overclocking Guide for your make of CPU.
You will notice other "Stickies" on cooling and ram. Read all those.

Make yourself a sig that shows your hardware and the type of OS you have.
That way we can better help you.:D
