Overclocking Newbie help /w q6600

[enthusiast1917]

hey guys, ive been reading up guides on overclocking the q6600, and came across really complicated guides where they talk about memory timings, cpu core voltages, fsb, etcetc, and then forum posts where others have modestly 'bumped' up the fsb on their motherboard options to 333 to get their q6600's to 3.0ghz. the latter option is what i'd like to do, and was wondering if it would be fine, considering im a complete newbie at overclocking, and would only wish to reach 3.0ghz with my cpu. (planning to get a thermalright ultra extreme 120 for my g0 q6600 cpu, so hopefully wont have any issues getting to 3.0ghz on first try)

Get a 3rd party HSF , then start clocking

(im going to do the same) all i have to do is change the fsb to 333? no volt changes or anythign at all else?

You might have to adjust voltages, but you won't know until you try it..

 

[enthusiast1917]

im gonna try raise the fsb to 333, stock everything. if its unstable, im gonna give up. . dont have the heart to venture off and change voltages/other settings

Not adjust voltages, are you crazy?

Push it man, don't be afraid.
enthusiast1917: Just look at the intel overclocking thread to give you some idea about the Voltages..
