Q6600 oc help

I was wondering what are good temperatures for this processor and if anybody has a q6600 oc'd with air cooling can you please show all the settings like voltage and stuff.

k well i'm still working on mine since i just got it yesterday and i still haven't gotten an answer as to if I should read the core temps or the plain CPU temp, but without the suggested 'burn-in' time of the arctic silver 5 thermal paste the last OC i did was as follows:

Q6600 G0 @ 3960 MHz

440 FSB x9 =3960
with vCORE set to 1.57

temps at load were ~48C with the zalman 9700.

What do you consider load? I highly doubt you are only hitting 48C @ 1.57v with air cooling, unless your room is 40F. I'm hitting around 65C under full Orthos stress test load.

Load = prime95, call of duty 4, crysis.

edit: and the house was ~69F yesterday when i did this stuff.
