First real OC E6600 + E680i + 9700

[AliP]

Sitting with my new setup right next to me, cant try it until Wednesday, dont ask why, long story. Anyway I wanna try to get that cpu to 3.0, I'm a total newb (wtf is a fsb kinda stuff) Hoping for a guide to tell me the basics that i can read while i wait.

Specs:

Evga 680i MB
E6600 cooled by a Zalman 9700
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) BL2KIT12864AA1005
Evga 8800GTS Stock
FSB Group FX760-E (760W)
SB Fatality XFI
Bunch of hd's
CMStacker Case Full fan activity (5=120, 2=80)
Nec 90GX2 Monitor.
WinXP

Told this should be good enough to do what i want

Anyone know about a good guide for me?

Thanks.

AliP,

We have a real similar system......all the readings on cpu-z are indeed correct.
