So after literally a year of penny pinching and saving I've finally built the rig I've had (and updated weekly) in my Newegg wishlist. Now I want to OC this thing and get my monies worth. But I don't know how to OC, where to begin, ect. While I'd prefer to have someone that knows what they're doing hold my hand and walk me through it, I know that you guys don't have that kind of time (although if you do, feel free to PM me). So are there any tutorials or walkthroughs for my specific components that anyone knows about? Mainly for my mobo. I've been watching youtube videos but everyone has different settings and stuff and i don't want to accidentally fry something when I havent had it for a week. So could someone help me out please?

Hope you figured it out. What i did what go into the bios, look around for cpu voltage and go up by .1 ghz. Then stress test it in prime 95 for 1.5 hours. if my pc is still running, then I repeat. After every prime 95 test check the temps. If it crashed, go back down a notch in the bios and your good!
