Right, i just had my first propper go at overclocking. I've got my E6600 happily running at 2.8Ghz currently. Does the 2.8Ghz apply to both cores? How can i check the speed of each core? Going to try for 3Ghz if it proves to be stable.

Yes, it applies to both cores. Get CPU-Z and Core Temp, then tell us how hot it's running. Another thing, take the vCore off auto and change it to 1.375 or something.
 
Cheers for the reply. Thought it would apply to both as the FSB would be linked to both. I have currently got the vcore set to stock (1.325) and the CPU is idling at 36c and maxing out at around 46c load. Need to add a couple of extra case fans to my TJ09 to bring it down further. Will go for 3Ghz once i'm happy it's stable.

'Sounds good. So, you've taken the vcore off auto, right? Are you using the stock cooler?
Another thing, what do you think of the TJ09? I don't know whether to get that or the Stacker 830. Would you mind posting some photographs?
 
I've now got it running at 3Ghz! Wow, i've never even managed a 200mhz overclock on previous CPU's! It's currently idling at 38c and topping out at 55c during Orthos testing. I'm using an Artic freezer pro 7 cooler and the vcore is manually set to 1.325v. I'm extremely happy with the TJ09, it's an outstanding case! I will post some piccies later once i've borrowed the gf's digi cam.
