Hi, i'm quite new to overclocking...please guide me along...thanks...

I've just got a new e6300 on a ds3 mobo. The problem is the cpu fan takes about 3 seconds to start spinning...is this normal?

And what is the stock temp for this cpu? My temp is 40C...normal? Im using the intel stock cooler with a normal coolermaster thermal paste. Do i need a new cooler?

And are there any uber noob guides to overclocking a rig with my specs? Would like one that specifically uses a DS3 as an example. I've read some of the guides in the pinned topics...but don't really understand most of them.
