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.

If it has anything to do with Thermaltake, it's a BAD IDEA.
