I've tried to read up on overclocking, but I've only succeeded in confusing myself. First modern overclock.

What I have:
- Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3P
- Core i5 750
- Mushkin DDR3 1600 7-9-7-24

What I want to do:
- Overclock to a conservative 3.0Ghz
- NOT overclock the memory, but keep it at the rated specs
- Keep the i5 Turbo Boost working

I change BCLK to 150, but that also seems to want to mess with my memory settings.

Any advise on how to do this?

Thanks,
mike.
