now i know that is for amd, but for overclocking its all pretty much the same except for a few name changes. all you need to do is raise your fsb until you get an error in prim95, when that happens you need to raise your voltage.

...and mind your cooling.

Fortunately the Core 2 Duo processors are pretty cool running even on air. Still, cooler temperatures will net you faster speeds with better stability, less heat and potentially less power required. I'd love to see a water+pelt combo on a Core Duo setup.

phase is much better tho

Indeed, but phase has quite a few drawbacks including size, fitment restrictions and certainly cost. With the 6x00 Core 2 chips having a thermal design power of under 75W stock, a 225W pelt on water could give you some pretty decent temps and wouldn't be hard or expensive to rig -- especially considering the price of 12V switching power supplies these days.

Not to say that pelted units don't have drawbacks either, but I'm thinking "on the cheap" and something I could do myself without having to teach myself about heat exchangers, gas pressures and proper pipe welding and soldering skills for high pressure containment.

i guess ur right, but i just dont like pelt. it can be extremely risky if u cant cool it right.

Or accidentally connect it backwards...

If you're not smart enough to test your pelt before attaching it, you shouldn't be using one

And the only way to really get full use of a pelt is to watercool it (IMO), and again, my opinion of testing your watercooling before use is the same as above
