There is no universal setting for overclocking. Each chip is different. As for the basics, turn all power saving features in the bios off. You may have to play with it but I am running a 21.5 multiplier with a 225mhz FSB with a 21.5x multiplier and the NB & HT speed at 2400. Also set voltage to 1.5v. After that is set I made sure to set the ram to run within the rated speed(ie if it is 1600mhz ram make sure it is running at or under 1600). you want to get the CPU stable before you worry about the ram. Just make sure you can cool it as these chips get hot with the extra voltage required.
