You should have a realistic target in mind to begin with mate. Maybe start with 2.2ghz and work your way to 3.0 maybe.

I've never owned a pentium E series myself but i did have a pentium D at 3.0 stock and that did ok on a crappy board, bout 3.6 i think.

No hardware is the same so you need to find what the CPU can take at stock voltage then work from there.

Dont be dissapointed if you dnt reach 3.0ghz on that board tho, seems a little shy on cooling. Watch your temps like a hawk!
