Ok so can some 1 help me get my system to a stable 3.4 or 3.6?
im running what u see in my specs below (other then the 3.2ocd, haven troublees (new to this))
i simply would like to now wat to set my FSB and memory speeds to, and the proper volts...
please some 1 help..

EDIT: Also if u need any more info please let me no..

No one is responding because they think that someone who can't write a simple sentence properly wouldn't understand the answer.

That being said, why do you want to overclock your computer. Is there something you are trying to accomplish? What's wrong with stock speeds?

Overclocking properly is a slow process of trial and error, mostly error. Read some overclocking guides. You'll be much more satisfied if you can figure it out yourself, and you'll probably get a higher overclock. If that Q6600 is a GO stepping, you should be good to 3.6 on air.

There is no 'right' answer, all chips are different, some need more vcore than others. Also the motherboard and ram plays a big part.

Start off small, find a guide for your motherboard and then slowly up your FSB and voltage, test, then rinse and repeat.

I recommend reading the overclocking guide sticky, it will have just about everything you need to know in there. The problem with just giving someone your settings is that every processor is different, as well as the other components in your system. The best way to overclock is to find out what is stable for your system not someone elses. With that said, after you read the guide you will find that you should start out small, increasing fsb in small increments until your system is no longer stable, monitoring temperatures to prevent overheating.

k i no that first paragraph doesnt make much sence sorry bout that.. 39hour day
and i have overclocking knowledge to a certain degree, its just when it comes to the ram and the volts (other then vCore) that i get confused, and alot of the time when im reading long guides and such, i cant fully understsnd them sometimes, due to the fact that im usaly up for 35-40hours at a time then i sleep for 18hours (repeat). but anyways if some 1 could explain the overclocking of ram, and some important volt tips that would be great.. or to save us some time then a link to a simple well wrote guide ...

Jeezzz. Regularize your life. That's not healthy for your mind nor body.

What you're asking for is like asking for a one paragraph description of how to ride a bicycle. That's not possible due to the vast array of different bicycles (unicycles, two-wheelers, recombinant, etc.) The directions would have to be different based single speed/multi speed/motorized, etc). Even if someone could write one, you still wouldn't be able to do it until you actually practiced.

If there were "golden" settings, the motherboard manufacturers would be using these as the defaults, or they'd be published all over the internets, and everything would always be overclocked to the max and rock solid stable.

It don't happen that way.

Overclocking is a slow process of trial and error. One doesn't learn how to overclock, one learns the methods for finding a good, stable overclock. And that's what the stickies will teach you

what you are confused with is about 90% of the entire OC concept.
you need to read stuff like "How to overclock" "RAM 101" etc. search on google or those sticky help threads here

If you bought the old Q6600 G0's then it can go 3.6 under 1.4 Vcore generally.
If you bought it just now, 3.6 Ghz will be almost 1.5 Vcore generally.

If 300 FSB is stable @ stock, then try 333 FSB (666 RAM) then add like 0.02v above stock voltage until you hit stable. start taking smaller steps when you reach around 400 FSB. If your RAMs are 800 Mhz, u don't need to touch the voltage until you hit 400 FSB.
