Well this is my first attempt at overclocking and I do feel rather ashamed of posting it in the "Xtreme Overclocking" section but hey ya gotta start somewhere!
Setup:
E6600
Asus P5WH Deluxe
2GB Corsair 6400C4
Gforce 7900GS
2 Sata drives
580watt Hiper PSU
Antec P180 case
Tuniq Cooler and extra fans
Vista Buisness 64-bit
After playing around for a day or 2 best ive came up with is 3.3Ghz with 368FSB on stock vcore. Ram is running at equivelent of pc7100. Havent done anyhting with the graphics card yet (damn you nvidia fix your drivers!)
This has been the most stable ive gotten so far and have been able to run orthus 12+ hours without a problem.
Bench wise im gettin 4489 in 3dmark06 and in super pi you can see my results below.

Temerature wise i am getting 25-26oC idle and 35-37oC load. Here is a picture of the setup. In the lower hdd cage i have my 2 drives. In the upper i have 2 additional antec tricool fans. The fans above the chipsets/ram are just my reused cpu cooler and a cheap £3 fan zip tied in place (yes i am a cheapskate student but they do a good job :P)

Im reasonably happy with these results so far, im still thinkin someting funny is happening with the ram but i may have a look at it over the next few days if im not busy. What you guys think?
James.
