Hey guys I'm new to overclocking. I just barely bought and built my pc. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me overclock my pc. I don't want to OC it too much where it would be unstable. I just want like maybe a 3.2 or so. This is my motherboard and cpu I have.

reserator XT just currently cooling CPU atm.

I'm a complete noobie, can someone walk me through and tell me what to change please?

There's a link in my sig for OCing on this board, but it was written before the q6600 processors became common. Unfortunately, you've got a bad MB/CPU combo for OCing, as the P5N-E can't get your CPU anywhere near what it's capable of because of power management issues. You can try following my guide, but don't be surprised if you top out somewhere around 2.8 GHz.

Agreed...the P5N is not a quad-clocker's board...

@ Tribeca: your 6400 really eats up the voltage! I didn't even have to go that high for 3.6....

Actually it is a matter of having the right BIOS not the voltages. Follow the guide in my sig COMPLETELY. It will help you achieve 3ghz. That is the best this rig will do. Once you have got the OC please REP diddler1979 for the excellent guide.

At this moment 12 people have achieved 3ghz with the quad on this board because of that guide. The only complications that will exist is if you use vista 64-bit and do not have an IDE disc drive.

Enjoy your OC!!

Tell me about it.... Are you saying you got 3.6GHz on your e6400? Did you manage that on a P5N-E? I'm switching to a DFI P35 board very soon, and am hoping I'll be able to reduce the vcore.... The droop I get at that vcore is close to 0.1v under load

yeah bro...validation's in the sig! I had it stable at 3.4G at good temps, but I got this board to do 462 fsb (3.7G), although it wasn't stable.
