Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Keep going 
Depending on cooling you should be good for 3.2-3.4 GHz

With my Q6600 at 3.825, and my 8800GTX at 693:1100
Not prime stable at that speed, but rock solid at 3.6GHz, going to get a new chip soon though

Looking forward to getting a Q6600 myself and some decent cooling. Should suffice for atleast 3GHz.
3.2GHz should be a doddle with an average motherboard and stock cooling. Decent air cooling you have a fair chance of getting 3.6GHz if it is an ok stepping. Any more than that though and your needing a very nice chip, or much better cooling.
The increase in voltage I needed to go from prime stable at 3.6 to booting at 3.825 was a surprise to me

Here's what i'm presently running 24/7:
C2Q Q6700 @ 3.5 GHz - 4x2 GB DDR2-778 4-4-4-12 (Mushkin/G.Skill) - P5B Deluxe
Old motherboard holds things back, but it works.

Nice overclock But those temp readings aren't right! There is a newer version of CoreTemp available, with a higher TJ Max. (100c) Try that one and your temps are more accurate.
