So I successfully got halfway through my overclocking, I'm currently at 2.79 ghz ( 310x9 ) up from the stock of 2.4 ghz ( 266 x 9 ). My memory multiplier is at 2.5 which means my ram is actually downclocked from 800 mhz to 775 mhz. My 3d Benchmark score is 12,475 up from 11,736 . My 8800 GTX is still stock settings. My temps really havent changed and its still idle 43-33 and at load 51-41.
Anyways I really doubt I could make it to 3.0 ghz at stock voltage like that one Veeb guy said and was wondering how much I should boost the CPU Vcore for stability reasons. The normal Vcore stock voltage for the q6600 is 1.2875. This overclocking guide

suggests a mild overclocking voltage of 1.38 but I noticed that was even higher voltage then what Veeb had it at! 1.35 as well even seems way too high for 3.0 ghz so I was wondering what was a good number to bring it up to so it doesnt add too much heat but just add more stability.
