OK, so i just got a new system. I've got the following:

Proc:C2D e6300
corsair xms ddr2 800
gigabyte p965-ds3
7300gt ( I know, it's slow)
antec neo he power supply.

How would i go about overclocking the cpu? Right now everything is stock. What do I do?!
 
Stock cooling should be good enough for up to around 3.1GHz at ~ 60C with Orthos load.

wow, thank you for that. I tried "e6300 overclocking" and "c2d overclocking" perhaps you could give me better terms to search with? I know there was a guide, but now that i think about it that's for amd, which doesn't really help me.

Now just add the word "guide" to your search and you get something like this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=e6300+overclocking+guide&btnG=Google+Search

I clicked on the first one. It might help lead you. I'm sorry, other then that I can't help you. I've never gotten the chance to try a c2d yet. GL and go easy with the voltage..

Here's something I wrote a while ago... It's geared towards the P965 chipset, which is good for you (it's what your board's got) but it uses a LOT of general terms... That way it's applicable to many different boards with different BIOSes.

Anyways, here you go: LINKY
 
Hmm well with the e6300. You notice in my signature. It gives you the variables to hit a small overclock of 1 ghz. I dont know much about your board but unfortunately my bios wont allow me to go over 3ghz without being unstable. Well its not the processor cant handle it, its my memory.

But
FSB = 401
Vcore 1.3
Mem 2.1
33.33hz
101

and so on.. la la la.. The reason why i said hit search is because there are more then enough threads about " How do I overclock" thanks
 
Thanks for all the responses guys! I'll try harder on my searches next time.
 
on the DS3,

Lock PCIe freq. at 101
Disable cpu eist
Set memory ratio to x2
add +.2v to memory
Set cpu vdim to 1.3-1.4v (ish)

Turn on cpu opperator something-or-other to manual
Set the fsb up to 350 ish and go from there.

Adding voltage makes your processor run hotter, but allows it to run faster. Thus the reason for a new HSF. While you're at it, you might want to get a new HS for the north bridge. It tends to get tonsa hot on the ds3. For stability you can add +.1v to the nbridge.

Don't fry your comp now.
