OK, I'm sure this can go in either section but since this is the one I am in currently, this is where it is going.

Specs:

Cosair 2GB DDR2-800 RAM
PNY Geforce 7600GT
E6300
Asus P5B
Scythe Ninja
FSP Power Supply 450W(Forget name)
Lian Li PC-61 Case
320 GB Seagate HD
80 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
Creative Sound Card

Now, If I want to overclock my E6300, is my system worthy of more complicated overclocking or just maybe a Prime95 test. I have never done it before. Also, what do you suppose I could reach (Probably too broad to answer but :D )
 
I reckon you should get to about 2.9ghz . I got to 2.76ghz using a ddr667 cas4 ram.

What you are doing is to synchronise both the FSB of the cpu with the max of what your ram can run.

I also used a P5B and its quite good as a overclocker. However there is this one problem you may encounter as i dont know if they have sorted this out on the mobo and that is the ratio or strap which should be kept at 1333. Read this

Also remember this check on the internet the memory you have bought and what it can get to ,and when you are overclocking when a ratio is set of how the clocks are synchronised then when the FSB of the cpu is increased then so does the ram increase at the ratio you put it at.

DO NOT exceed your rams limit but use that as the final overclock.

ALso most people increase about 400mhz without increase of the Vcore , Vdimm should be left at auto and is quite useless for you now.

Start simple and if you want you can write your page of the BIOS here or prnt page of it and i or somebody else will help you.

If you want me to help then PM me and i will get back to you.

Take care and nice and slowly , use 32 mg superpi to check for stabilaty , also run two seperate files of superpi and both at 32meg and see if it gives errors before you start , if it does then there is something wrong with the cpu or ram.After you know they are perfect then carry on with the overclocking.

Always write your findings down.
