Q6600 overclock on stock cooler

maki · 2009-11-06 13:38:17

Could anyone tell me how far the Q6600 (G0) can be pushed with the stock cooler? I've it running at stock 2.4Ghz now with idle temps of 35C, but would ideally like to get it up to 3Ghz. Can the stock cooler handle that, and if so would there be much of a noise increase? Also, can I presume that I could get it up to 3Ghz…

Also, can I presume that I could get it up to 3Ghz without messing around with voltages and such?
