I have a DG965WH MOBO with 2gb Kingston pc-5300 ddr 667, i think its value ram not sure. and a intel core 2 duo E6300 and evga 8800gts 320mb Superclocked. Im a noob at this stuff and dont know nothing. I have the stock heatsink and fan for the CPU. I dont have the temperature thing that tells you how hot it gets so i dont know if I need cooling.

You can use many programs to moniter Tempartures. Which include but are not limited to.
Motherboard Moniter, speedfan, everest home/ultimate.
There are several programs that you will want to test for stability. Which include but are not limited to: Prime 95, super PI, OCCT, Orthos.

I suggest you read through the Overclockers Guide and Tempartures Guides.

If i overclock my CPU do I have to overclock my memory?
and how is this fan for cooling?

speed fan is a bit dodgy, it says my none overcloked 3800 is 96 degress which it obisoly wrong

Speed fan is incorrect. Use coretemp and good luck overclocking with that ram. You will be lucky to get to 2.5 GHz on the processor

I just got my E6300 and new mobo and new video yada yada, (AMAZINGLY seamless swap, not even a hickup lol. My sound doesn't crackle anymore even)

Anyway... My C2D is an SL9TA / Q705A024

Is there any place I can "look" up the OCabilty of it?
