First Off you should read this: http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=2052

In your Bios there will be an option for FSB...Incease this ~3-5MHZ @ a time....this wll OC the CPU & RAM....
Once you raise the FSB boot into windows and run 2x prime95....
Download CPUZ...It wll allow you to see the CPU FSB/MHz etc.

When Prime95 fails...you can go backinto the Bios and either change Ram settings of add some more voltage (no more than 1.55v under air, unless temps are v-good)

The link above shows another way to do it.....It's better too.....Infinite says to set your ram to a lower speed and then OC.....this way you find the Max of you CPU & then the Max of the Ram....you can then decide what settings are best......

Read the above link, then post back with any specific questions....and as always go slow.....
