Hi guys,
I've never overclocked before and I figured what better way to start than with the i7 920 I'm getting.
I've read loads of guides and everything, and I'm pretty okay with most of the aspects of overclocking, but there's one part I'm not too sure on...

I know your supposed to set the memory multipliert to the lowest possible ratio, then after overclocking increase the ratio bit-by-bit until it's as high as it can stabley go. The problem is, how do I know how high to go? Until I get the blue screen of death? Then what do I do?.

use the memory:fsb ratio to adjust the memory fsb ~ 1333 or ~1600, depending of your ram. U can find some specific test about your ram, how far u can overclock it. anyway, i belive there is no point of going more than 1600 MHz.
