For reference here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/p/iOiw
I'm picking everything up in a few days and I'd like to overclock the CPU, and possibly the RAM.
So I've never overclocked a CPU, but I watched a few videos on it and it looks simple enough, but I haven't been able to find a good guide for Ivy Bridge CPU's.
What steps should I take to determine what voltage and multiplier to use?
What max temp should I reach?
What is the best stress test to run?
What clock will I likely be able to reach with that Zalman 9900?
Also is it worth it at all to OC the RAM, and if so how would I go about doing that?
Thanks.
