Happy to report, i have (i think) succesfully overclocked my E6400 to 2.6 from 2.13(stock cooling). Today i just decided to print out this rather good tutorial, and i did it. A bit scared because i had never done this. One thing im worried about is i did not change my RAM timings, because im not even sure what they are, it didnt say any wehre on the package, so i left it at 5-4-4-15. If anyone knows please tell me, its Corsair Value Select PC2-5300 DDR2 RAM. Anywho, ill post some benchmarks. Old 3dMark06:8996 New: 9548
Look at me!
P.S I posted a pick of the CPU-Z latency program, if anyone could tell me if that sais my timings i'd be grateful.

No way.....2.6 to 2.13!? Amazin...yet...slower :P Sry...jst had too....I assume you mean 3.13? Nice OC. no he didnt, he said 2.6 from 2.13. Edit- Menelyagor beet me to it
Those timings look okay to me. I didn't have to change mine after OCing my E6600. Also, I think you could probably squeeze a bit more out of that CPU, but if you're still sitting with stock cooling i wouldn't recommend it yet hehe. Very nice though :)

what are you boasting about? thats a pretty average oc.
Yeh man seriously, its not boasting, just wanted to share my excitement, cause it was my first time OCing a CPU, and further, i dont think itd be smart to do some crazy 3.0-3.6 ghz OC when its my first time, and im using stock cooling.
