Overclocking my 6600..

[loyski]

Hello all,
This is my first post, so please bear with me.
Im trying to overclock my core 2 duo 6600, not too the extreme, but i'd like to get 3ghz + out of it with stability. Please explain to me what settings i should put it at. (voltage, fsb, memory..etc) I dont want to keep clearing the cmos because of mistakes..lol.

Heres the specs:

Core2duo 6600 / ocz silver thermal paste
(2) x 1gb OCZ 667mhz dual channel
(2) x 1gb Corsair value 667mhz memory
Asus P5NSLI mobo
(2) BFG 7950 GT OC running at SLi
WD sata 3 250gb
ultra 550w powersupply
thermal take cooling fan

it runs between 35-40 degrees celcius now.
What should i change the fsb/multiplier on the cpu/memory to?

Also, i have 4gb installed, and xp pro only sees 2.75gb..The bios sees the 4gb wtf is up with that?

Thanks in advance

So i decided to try it out today..
My motherboard has AI overclock utility. It overclocks at 5,10,15 and 20%
Im only able to overclock up to 10%, anything higher, it wont even boot up.
I can manually set it, but dont know what to put it at.
Now instead of running 2.4, its showing it at 2.64ghz. Not much of a difference.
Plz help! Trying to get it at 3.0 without destroying it..lol.
ANY FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED.
THnx
