Whooo Hoo Don't try this at home boys & girls ( unless you know what your doing) I just Overclocked my i7 3.40Ghz to 6.00Ghz I'm using Liquid Nitrogen as a cooler, and the rig is running steady at just 40c whilst Idle I got the LN from my local surgury (Shhh ) Anyway, this is Insanely fast
Sounds good, Is she stable?. What temps have you got under load/stress and what mobo you running dude? In fact, any chance of posting your settings within the BIOS please? And a couple of photos would be great too...Pretty please....(The word 'please' is underlined, in italic, bold, with flashing lights and fireworks going off all around it....)
Nice overclock DVD+R LOL The most i could get out of my E2180 (Yeah lame) was 2.8GHZ from 2.0GHZ with stock voltage, tried to get to 3.0GHZ but failed, even if i increased voltage a lot and with the stock fan it's a no go

You do realize that cpu is never a bottleneck? Disk, disk, disk ... My new rig - an article coming in a few weeks - boots in 15 sec on standard 7200rpm disk, so the cpu probably plays little part. Nice to see you put medicinal tools to good use, though Cheers, Mrk
my CPU is always the bottleneck if I have one which is not often dual CPU black edition never ran out of memory not sure about disk but doesn't seem to be a problem if anything locks up or slows down its the CPU overloaded but very rare
