Hi,

I m running:

MB ASUS P5LD2 (no SLI support)
ASUS 4890
Intel core 2 duo q6600 2.4ghz (no OC)
RAM = 2 x 2 gigs corsair xms
Power Supply = Corsair 750W - 60A
Running Vista 64
Using a 22'' Samsung screen

I would like to O/C my CPU to 3 ghz in order to fully enjoy the GPU,

What should I do? Do I need extra cooling also?

Thanks,

Sebas

the q6600 is quad core not duo. OCing it to 3 ghz is easy, even with stock cooler.
