Always been an AMD guy , have never overclocked an intel processor (except the ol' celery 300 like everyone else...). I upgraded yesterday to an E6300 core2duo and an ECS p4m800pro-m v2.0. I was able to use my 2 gig (2x1gb) ddr400 and ati x850xt-pe (agp) in this board. I am using this Zalman cooler: Zalman CNPS9500AT Socket LGA775 CPU Cooler.
All of it is in an Antec Lanboy case, 2 120mm fans, one in front, one in back.

What are my chances of getting a decent overclock? The ECS board does have overclocking features, I know that, it's on the box as a "feature" but I haven't touched them yet, was looking to get input first from the experts here.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the page for the motherboard: ECS board
 
I got it to 284x7 so far. 1988.02mhz on a e6300. Not sure what to try next. 285mhz bus rebooted. I have all sorts of voltage options on the ram and cpu, etc.. Also, I have options to set the ram at whatever (I have at auto right now).
 
You shouldn't have to change any Voltages or anything for a sub 300mhz overclock.

Uhm, you're running with DDR RAM, so you might need a DDR divider on...

What's your SuperPi score at your current overclock? (1M)
 
I left everything at default and just set the bus speed to 287, booted up fine and haven't rebooted since.

Are you saying your DDR 400 just did 287x2= DDR574?
