I came across a great overclocking guide one NCIX website:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwbzQ...ufacture=Intel

It seems very different from overclocking a c2d. So good luck!

So just don't go as high. The method is the same.

There is no one set of numbers that works for everyone. Even with the same chip and board, you will need a different voltage, ratios, bclk, etc. If it was that easy, you'd see a table of numbers posted for every possible speed.

You need to read and follow the techniques posted to find your highest stable BCLK, RAM speed and then CPU speed. The video posted above also walks you thru the process.
