so now i got all the right tools. except i my only experience ocing was my old pentium 4. using asus's turbo V and AI tweak in asus's bio. i know you have to set 21 for ratio setting and raise the voltage as you go. as of now i only tried out the XMP profile(3.2ghz ddr3 at 2000mhz)

btw my cpu temp in bios read 44c. did i applied too much or too little artic silver 5?

check out these 2 guides: Overclocking i7 and Voltages
i know they're for evga board so i dont know if everything is labeled the same but it should give you the basic idea.

EDIT:
u need to see what ur load temps are. idle temps are too inaccurate

use realtemp
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=2809778
or
coretemp
http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
and everest ultimate(no install exe, in zip package)
http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?...ang=en&page=48

your cpu multiplier doesnt have to be at 21, I use 20 and its stable @ 4GHz.

edit> if you dont need HT turn it off to reduce heat.
good luck
