Good job, welcome to the dark art of overclocking! Just wait till you get your ram, then you can open that baby up! Mine is running at 3.3ghz and I think its still got some left in it!
 
nice begginers overclock, you should be proud :D , one odd thing your CPU temp is lower than your ambient, isn't that kinda odd?
 
hmmm the cpu temp being lower than ambient thing happened to me too. when I installed a new psu the cpu temps went to around 17 degrees :D oh well.

Nice beginners oc there by the way
 
I don't if my cpu temp can be cooler than ambient. But I think it's right because i'm not on air. I'm on water ;)
 
Also, If someone could tell me how to overclock my video card and how shold I take those steps.

If you want to oc the vid card, just do a search on google for rivatuner. That will let you tweak a lot of other things too. The other thing you could do is download the coolbits registry entry. You could do that yourself, but I forgot exactly what to put in. If you use the Coolbits method, there will be a Clock frequency selction under the 6600gt properties that will let you adjust the 2d and 3d clock speeds. Good luck OCing!!!
