OCing 3500+ Winnie

What is the 100% safe OC for the system in my signature? I don't really want to run Prime95 and all that jazz for hours to find out. Maybe like 2.4Ghz OC or something? I don't know what multipliers/settings I should use either for this OC. Can someone help an OC newb?
 
If you want to Overclock and get a stable system, then you have to test its stabilty and there is where Prime95 comes into place...if you are into OC Prime95 tests are a must!!
 
If you overclock that CPU at all then you'd better do some stability testing too. Sometimes you can get away with bumping up the speed by 100MHz and few additional adjustments but, overclocking is always YMMV. Sometimes these CPUs will not be 100% stable with even a slight speed increase unless you tweak the Voltage as well.

I had to bump up my CPU core voltage by a few hundredths of a volt even with only a 200MHz increase to get it 100% stable.
