Need advice on overclocking

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

I have the following hardware and was wondering how far I could overclock
safetly without adding any super duper cooling devices.

I have 4 antec case fans and right now my temps are cpu 33C MB 22C , how
much would you overclock this configuration and feel safe. Also are all the
overclocking setting done in my bios? if you have a very basic tutorial link
I would appreciate it.. I don't want to increase the speed a huge amount but
I would lie to get a nice little bump from this cpu seeing that it's about 2
1/2 years old.
If I bumped it up closer to 3 gig would I notice a big difference?

Experiment. Raise the FSB 5 mhz at a time 'til it won't boot.reset cmos, then
back off 5. Raise the vcore .25-.50v then repeat. Also raise Vdimm if you can
There are usually about 3 settings for vdimm.Sometimes more.
