Do
Don't:
There may be others I've forgotten, and reading a guide is a good idea.
- ■Stress-test
■Read first
■small steps
■watch temps
Don't:
- ■Raise voltage above reasonable levels for your chip (about 1.4V for SB IIRC)
■Fry it

Don't: OC thru a software
DO: always OC thru bios bro.
- you can also up the voltage right away to 1.4. It won't fry it because that's the safest voltage for a cpu.

^^ All valid points
Do: Go in reasonable increments
Test for stability
Keep it cool and watch the temps & voltage
Remember each chip is different, you might not get what someone else got
Don't: Enter random settings in hopes of a quick overclock
