stock is 1.225
3.0Ghz should still be stable on stock voltages, if not... put it up 1 step and try again.
though I think stock volts is fine for 3.0Ghz

| This is why you do it in steps, you can't be sure.

With my Q6600, it can hit 3GHz at stock voltages. It has no problem booting up at 3GHz with 1.3v, but there are major system instabilities.
Stick with the stock voltage, then move up in your motherboard's smallest increments. Lock PCI-e frequency, loosen RAM timings a bit, etc. before you overclock.
