I have read about every tutorial and seen a million youtube videos regarding how to overclock with my current setup, and the only results I get are Blue Screens and more failure.

While I know overclocking voids warranties, can anyone suggest a computer shop or whatever who would OC my rig to something stable?

I know it is a snowball chance in hell finding someone or some company, but I just cant grasp all of these settings.

My rig:

ASUS Z87 PLUS
INTEL 4670K
CORSAIR CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB 1600mhz
XFX 7950
KINGSTON 128 SSD
SEAGATE 1TB
WD 1TB
PLEXTOR BLUE RAY PLAYER
ANTEC 750 WATT PSU
WIN 7 64 bit
CORSAIR GIGANTIC 2 FAN WATERCOOLER 100I or something.
4 120MM FANS

Hell, could I have too much on my PSU?

If you can post the model of the antec psu and the cpu cooler, then we can probably suggest stable overclocks achieved with that config.

What have you tried? Let's start with the basics...
You will want to enter BIOS and disable Turbo. Then find the CPU clock multiplier and increase it one increment. Reboot and run a CPU/MB stress testing pgm like http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4965-intelburntest.ht...
Just use the default settings in IBT for now. Let it run thru its default 10 run pass. If it is stable, you can go back in BIOS and increase the multiplier again and repeat the process. But keep an eye on core temps while running the stress test. shut down if they get into unsafe territory for more than a few moments. (mid 70Cs) Intel says 67C is max operating temp as measured at the cores. But that is for sustained use.

Eventually, you will get to the point that the PC won't Boot to Win7 or IBT returns an unstable result. You can then back off to the last stable setting and live with that... or start increasing the vcore a tiny bit to regain stability. But then you get into a more touchy area. See how far you can get on the multi alone. For a final stability test, run at least an hour with http://www.mersenne.org/download/ using the small FFTs setting.

Always watch temps!

I know the block or whatever is at 100 and the multiplier at 38. I have bumped the 2 separate up just a few and it is never stable. Made the multiplier 39 and 40 but I think it said I went from 3.4 to to 3.5. Not what I had in mind. Any higher and bsod.
