Overclocking a Core 2 Duo

[repo485]

Does anyone know how far an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz will overclock with air cooling?

idk, 3.5-3.8GHZ lol

3.8GHz is pushing it, I's say if you're willing to tweak more advanced settings in the RAM, as well as voltages, you should be able to get 3.4-3.6GHz pretty easily.

I ran my E6750 @ 3.8 GHZ all the time.It would have ran 3.9 GHZ if I had a better cooler..

It depends which stepping you get, I know one of my friends got his up to 3.6GHz on stock voltage, while my other friend with the older stepping/revision couldn't get above 3.2-3.4GHz.

I've got 3.25 stable on stock voltage with a 6550 so 3.6 should be possible.
