My intel motherboard blew up on me. So I've ordered a GA-P35-DS3L board. I have a geforce 7900GS OC, 2GB Gskill DDR2-800, and a couple hard drives. I'm wondering how much I can overclock my system without having to change voltages or use anything but stock cooling. I'm pretty happy with my performance now, and my system runs very quiet, which I really like. I know it's pretty easy to OC these guys, and if I can get a little more oomphf, why not?

Also, is it safe to reuse the stock intel HSF?

Thanks!

You can get 3GHz without touching the voltages on stock cooling on a Q6600. I imagine your Q6700 can go higher, but I wouldn't recommend going past 3GHz on stock cooling.
