Best heatsink/fan for a Q6600?

3.2~3.4 is reasonable to expect with a bit of luck. That Tunic Tower for 24UK seems pretty cheap compared to the rest of those prices. It is a very good HS if you have room for it in your case. The Q6600 runs pretty cool anyway. Try to keep your Vcore as low as you can at your desired OC and the temps lower. With luck you will get a GO stepping chip with a low VID that will not take too much voltage. That ram will be fairly limiting as Crucial of late will not OC very well. Prices in UK do seem high, back when I lived in London, things were cheap. Ah, the good ole days. Actually most things were not cheap, it was just that the Dollar was so strong. Cheers

I'd be happy with 3Ghz , yeah these are the G0 steppings
 
My MB supports a 1333 Mhz FSB, but to get 3.3 Ghz I'd need 367MHz X 9 (1466MHz FSB)- Will the FSB of my MB hold back the OC?
 
On dual cores the max FSB of the board is ~500 MHz, quads will probably drop it a bit, but asking for 367MHz isn't much. I have seen quads at 380 FSB, so you should be fine touch wood...

Cheers PlasmaBomb, I order 2moro and post where I end up ( 3.6 ghz would give me a semi)
 
Sorry it was the P5B-E plus that got all the way to 500FSB. 380FSB should give you ~3.4 GHz which should put a smile on your face 😀

I am worried since I have 4X 1GB sticks , won't this limit my OC?

I have 4 sticks, 2 1GB and 2 512mb, and my board runs at 415fsb. Those are 667 sticks too, and they are clocked at 830. As long as you feed them the right amount of volts, you'll be golden.
