This is my build --> http://pcpartpicker.com/b/W6XH99

I cannot seem to find a guide anywhere (with both the mobo & cpu) that I can follow in specific steps. This will be my first OC and want to make sure I am doing it correctly. I have read a lot about OCing and what seems to get me confused is how to get the voltage setting correct. I am not looking for a massive OC as I do not have an over-the-top cooling system, just an aftermarket CPU cooler & 2 case fans.

If anyone could either direct me to a guide I might have missed in my searching or even write up some steps that I can follow (preferably as if it was meant for your mother ;P to follow).

As a side note, I have been struggling to OC my RAM sticks to 1866. They show that they are at 1333 with the xmp profile selected in bios...

if this is your first endeavor into OC'ing, stick with using the unlocked multiplier for now. Enter Bios and raise the CPU clock multiplier a click at a time, testing with something like Intel Burn Test between increases while watching temps. Eventually, you will reach a point where the OC will be unstable. You can then either back off to the last stable setting and live with that, or you can raise the vcore a tiny bit to get the OC stable again. At that point, you may even be able to raise the multiplier more. But don't go too high on the vcore. It's better to live with a solid OC than risk frying the CPU.
