Over Clocking my Current CPU? (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700)

Not sure if youve seen my posts but im planning on building a new rig, But i was just wondering How high could i possibly over clock my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz? I know this isnt the best processor ever but i think it can be overclocked rather well, But like always, im coming to you guys for the answer:D If its possible to OC this to about 3.0 GHz or higher(while still stable) i can pretty much subtract 1k from the price of my rig(i think) So any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks:D

yes you can get it to 3ghz easily.b0ssy

Yep, go make sure to research really well on overclocking if you dont know how.

With a strong mobo, you can OC to 3.4Ghz easydayaccus007

NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Will that Mobo work? Ive done my resaeach so theortically i "know" how to do it i just wanna make sure i have the best possible scenerio for doing it:D

Well, if a Dell motherboard can OC it to 3.6GHz....ZBoater

Your computer is awesome... I want it... how much?

lol alright. Thanks:DAnother Question For ya, What do you use to cool your CPU? As i imgine OC'd to 3.6GHz it lets off alot of heat...

The Dell has a thermo-electric cooling system. Its the H2C system, you can check out the specs at Dell.com. I only keep it at 3.6GHz to run benchmarks. It stays at 3.2GHz the rest of the time. The quads run steamy, but the Dell 710 case has good airflow.

Yes if your not going to use the pelteir to full extent we can trade :) I run at 3.8 ghz all the time on air :P I win...

Thermo-electric cooling and you only run it at 3.2GHz most of the time? What are you saving it for. On that cooling system, I say at least 3.4GHz.
