Which revision of Q6600 do you have ? B3 or G0,
either way, the stock cooler will strugle to keep all 4 cores cool.

The way to overclock intel chips is to raise the fsb, by default your chip will be 266, to get to 3 ghz you need to raise this to 333.

you probably wont be able to do this in one go so up the speed in small steps making sure its stable each time.
