Sorry about the screen stretch.

I've got my E6300 running stable at 2.94GHz, a 58% overclock on air! I'm using the Zalman 9700 HSF and two 120mm case fans. I pushed vcore to 1.6, FSBT to 1.45, NB voltage to 1.65, SB voltage to 1.6 and vdimm to 2.15. That's the lowest I could get my voltages while keeping the system stable. My next aim is to beat the 3GHz barrier, an over 60% oc on air alone. After that I will need liquid cooling to go higher.

Also got my DDR2-667 overclocked to 840MHz with timings of 4-4-4-15. I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze 12 from the TRAS.

After some benchmarks I can see that it beats the Core 2 Extreme (http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=322640) in a few, but loses in some benches which is probably due to the 2MB cache rather than the 4MB. It still beats anything at all that AMD can throw at it. A score of 19.547 in SuperPI to 1M... Not bad for a ?180 CPU! At stock speeds IIRC I got 29 seconds.

I've beaten the 3GHz mark, it's quite hot though... Going over 60c when near full load so I won't be able to keep it running at this speed.
