What motherboard do you have?
If you want to OC properly, you'll have to change some settings in the BIOS first.
Then once you've done that, simply set your voltages to 1.15v or so, and put up the multiplier to 40x or so.
Boot up, check temps, stress test. Does it work fine? Want more MHz?
Reboot, get in the BIOS put your multiplier to 45x or so.
Now when you reboot you will (most likely) not be able to boot.
It'll either get stuck at loading Windows, or if you DO get into Windows, you'll get a BSOD with a 0x000000124 message or so.
That means you'll have to raise up the voltages a bit.
I recommend you raise your voltage incrementally, so from 1.15v, you go to 1.16v and so on until it works properly.
Do not exceed 1.4v. Try to stay below it.
I've got a Gigabyte Z68. Any programs you recommend? Do I need to perform those crazy tests that raise the temperature really high? I have a big external heatsink on it. Thanks for your help by the way.
