I have a Q6600 B3 stepping and just put on a new Zalman CNPS10X wich dropped its operating temps 20c, I currently have it overclocked from 2.4Ghz to 3Ghz and load temps (Prime95) barely go over 50c so I have plenty or room to keep going. I want to hit 3.4-3.6 Ghz.
Currently I have my MSI P6N Sli Platinum (nvidia 650i chipset, updated to lastest bios) overclocked to FSB 1333 wich puts the CPU at 3Ghz and its stable after 3 hours of Prime 95. . I Can't go any further with out either no picture output whatsoever or windows crashing at the loading screen.
Since my temps have been fine, I increased memory, north bridge, and CPU voltages close to their maximum (but safe) values just to eliminate that as the cause of instability, but still no success. After returning to my 1333/3Ghz clock I lowered them back down.
I have 4 Gb of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 memory, should be 4-4-4-12 timings but I left that set to automatic in the bios and its running at 5-5-5-15. CPUZ indicates a ratio of 11:13 so its currently running at 394mhz (basically 800mhz as I understand).
There are a few settings in my bios worth mentioning:
