Im new to overclocking but since i've upgraded my system and got better cooling I'd really like to push my system to the edge.
I am running a q6600 liquid cooled by http://www.petrastechshop.com/pecoba.html (high fan) with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284 I am sorry if this is a frequently asked question but gotta go to bed and work tomorow so i can pay off this computer so i have no time to look for the answer! Im just looking for some info about what kind of numbers i should shoot for and what anybody with the same or close to the same setup is getting. thanks for your input!

I was running the Q6600 on an Abit IP35 pro and I was able to get to 3.4 without a whole lot of trouble. Running the same setup in my sig.

On another note I do have the GO stepping which is said to be a better overclocker then most of the others so it all depends on which stepping you have as well, but I think you could get 3.4 without much touble if you have a GO.

I think I was able to get to 3.0 without changing my Vcc.
