I have a Q6600 @2.4ghz, MSI P6N diamond mobo, and Asus silent square evo heatsink that I inherited. Is it possible to over clock and if so how much can be done safely?

Thanks

Yes, should be able to get the Q6600 to at least 3 GHz, willwant to monitor heat (get a app like CoreTemp, free). might start by setting vCore to 1.33 and FSB to 1333, which will take you to 3 GHz, if aall comes up well, then can monitor heat and maybe back the CPU voltage (vCore) back a little at a time while maintaining stability
