Best thing I can tell you is the same thing I tell anyone who is new to overclocking.

Read, read... Then read some more.. Write down notes specific to your motherboard and processor... Read some more, and then start toying.

There's SO much to explain that it's actually easier for you to learn. Especially when it comes to milking every last bit out of the processsor as that can become quite complex.

But the basics you need to know as with any system/build; nothing will ever be the same. I've had a set of five machines I built for a small company and just to see what would happen; not a single one acted the same. Each chip resulted in a different speed and each motherboard was capable of different clocks. While the machines were pretty much identical in hardware respect, the actual hardware was different when it came to tolerances.

So if I told you the settings of someone's system that is similar to yours; would it work? No guarantee at all. While some people with the processor you have can easily achieve 4.4Ghz, others struggle to get a stable 4.0Ghz. So like I said, read all about overclocking. Read guides, reviews, and threads about overclocking. There's no better way to overclock than to just start by learning all about it. :)
