The basics are pretty simple. I'm not good, either, but I can do basics.

1) Go into your BIOS
2) Find your multiplier and FSB speeds
3) Increase VCore to the max you would want it at (1.45v isn't a bad 24/7 voltage)
4) Increase your multiplier to get a pretty CPU speed
5) Boot up
6) Run Prime95 to confirm it's stable
7a) If stable, go to Step 4
7b) If not stable, either increase VCore or reduce your multiplier by one setting. Confirm stability with P95 Repeat until P95 stable.

I increase my multiplier/fsb speeds, stress, then if that's not stable increase voltage. If you increase voltage first, you're just making more effort for yourself to go back and decrease the vcore to get it as low as possible.

I hate to hijack the thread here for a few monents. But how much benfit does the Turbo actually give? I myself haven ever fiddled around with this.

Is it a separate overclock you need to find and stabilize after your regular overclock? Or do the turbo numbers automatically generate based on your reg. OC? What part does this play in terms of stabillity of the system as a whole? I am doing all my reading before taking the jump from my PhenomII to an FX8350/20.

Think I'll stay away from over clocking for now. Would I need to turn off turbo and cool n quiet to overclock

I can walk you through it, it's really easy on that board. We can do a small overclock like 4.3 ghz at 1.38v.

Well, start at 4.5GHz and 1.35Vcore and go from there. Plus, setting my MAX vcore is nice because I'm no longer tempted to continue pushing vcore.
