i can offer you the "fred flintstone" shortcut way

download intel's "Extreme Tuning Utility" -
once you've downloaded it and gotten familiar with the various screens settings, do a benchmark test -
when thru, the utility will ask you if you want to upload your results to compare to others - let it upload

then once there, you can narrow down the selection of motherboards and CPUs you're comparing your benchmark to, to your mobo & cpu combo - once you've done that

Generally 92% and above, i'll try that user's settings

after downloading and loading another user's settings, run a benchmark to see what happens to your score

once nice thing about the utility, it will allow you to make changes to your BIOS from within windows

fwiw
