This should be your first stop.

Next stop should be a guide for your particular motherboard. Google is your friend.

Also look at 680i OC guides. The 750i is just a 680i modified to be compatible with the Yorkfield quads. I used this one with my old 680i eVGA board:

It's pretty good except for the section on memory settings. Unlink your RAM and set your memory frequency to twice the FSB frequency or 667 MHz.

Ok so i took out 2gb of the ram because they were not the same. I have changed everything the manual tells me to and still nothing it just goes to a blank screen. I've looked so hard to find someone who has overclocked on the evga 750i sli NOT the FTW, but nothing.
