YOu don't need water cooling to overclock, i got my qx6700 from 2.66 ghz to 3.4 on air, of course its not stable :P. Anyways just go into your bios and raise your fsb, Just do the math, im guessing your multiplier is around 16? so just do the math, It may do it automatically, I would first bump it to 3.0 ghz then keep going from there. I would reccomend pc wizard download at cpuid.com then do a stress test such as OCCT, or orthos and take the max temp anything below 60C is fine, unless you got a qx6700 X-D, mine can get to 80C on intel tat

When the system crashes or runs too hot, if it is unstable I would reccomend keep going until your temp hits 60C, if you experience a crash, try raising the voltage for your cpu, if that still does not work your ram may not be able to keep up.
