Overclock advice

[Inzomniak]

Can anyone advise what kind of overclock I should be looking with my current setup and advise of what to change to achieve a decent and stable overclock of say 3.6+, my rig is as follows:

CPU - Intel CPU Core 2 Duo E6850 w/ThermalTake BigTyp 120 VX cooler
Mobo - ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus
RAM - Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
GFX - BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 640MB

well good luck as the 680i chipset sucks ass, always go with intel they are the best atm. as for a good OC i had a 650i with a q6600 and thermaltake WC and could only reach 3.0ghz, as soon i i went to a intel chipset 3.6 was easy. erm id say be happy with 3.6ghz atleast you have a good processor, with the 65nm if you only want to keep it for a couple of years 1.6v vcore is fine.
