I would like to ask if it safe and okay to overclock my system. Here's my specs

Processor: Core 2 Quad Q6600
Memory: 4GB DDR2 800 MHz
PSU: Corsair GS600
CPU Cooler: Deep Cool Ice Edge 400FS

Use CPU-Z to check the Stepping Revision.

If your Q6600 is a G0, most of them will overclock to 3.6GHz. :sol:

By the way my friend is asking if it is okay to overclock the same CPU but with different heatsink fan. He's using a generic fan from Intel that came with the processor.

An aftermarket HSF is preferable to Intel's stock HSF. :sol:

You can probably get some extra speed out of stock Intel HSF, but I wouldn't venture to far from stock w/o an aftermarket cooler.
