Two "stickies" (a sticky is a permanent thread "stuck" at the top of a forum) from the forums here:

If you are going to overclock, you should know something about thermal management. And I am guessing that you are using the stock Intel cooler. If so, you will need a better cooler.

Google something like "overclock MSI P45-8D" for ideas on how to OC your particular motherboard.

And keep in mind that these are intended as guides, not cookbooks. There's so much variation in components and setups, that your results will certainly differ from anyone else.
