Ocing and voltage!?

I'm slowly OCing my e6600 on a MSI 650i Platinum mobo at 10MHz at a time. Right now it's OC'd from 2.395 to 2.420 so hardly anything. When do I need to start messing with the voltage? The stock voltage is:

CPU Voltage: 0.0000 V
Memory Voltage: Auto
NB Voltage: 1.25 V
SB Voltage: 1.50
FSB VTT Voltage: 0%

I downloaded a CPU stability program and it did like a 5 minute CPU heatUP with a score or 5.0 and 0 errors. Does this mean that it's stable. How do I know when it's not stable and how much do i change the voltage by?
Just a general answer will do thanks. (unless you wanna get technical)
 
up it 50mhz at a time until it will not boot to desktop then start upping voltage until it will boot then continue. watch those temps.
 
And will this "up it until it will not boot to desktop" ruin it? It kinda sounds sketchy. What do you have your voltage at kof2000 for 3.66ghz? I saw on a forum that a guy was running 3ghz at 1.3 V. That sound about right? (I don't plan on OCing it more than 3ghz since i have a stock heatsink/fan)
 
1.5875 somewhere around there. before i got aftermarket cooling i went as high as 3.2ghz with stock cooler.
 
That would be watercooled, so idle I'd bet it's no higher than 30C, I don't know what it would hit loaded though. I'd guess something around 50C depending on the size of the RAD and what block.

OCing is kind of sketchy :P Basically you keep increasing the clock until it's not stable then you increase the voltage a bit until it is stable.
