Overclocking advice

[Guest Tonyla1]

Hi all,I have just purchased the following new computer:Win 7 64, i7 950 3.06Ghz; GA-X58A-UD3R; Corsair 6G DDR3 1600Mhz; 1G ATI 6870; Thermalake Armor A90 case; 700w psu.I'd like to overclock to as close to 4Ghz as I can on air without taking too much of a risk. I've been studying this forum, which I think is great, however I still find it a little daunting as I have no experience whatsoever at overclocking.The main purpose of the oc is to run FSX.Could some one help me out with some instructions and suggested settings to get me to at least 3.8Ghz? I've read that if I want to overclock to 3.8 on the system I have, I merely need to change my bclock to say 165 and not alter any other voltage settings?Would this work? or am I missing something?CheersTony

Read this through, this will help you achieve what you want.http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-bloomfield-and-gulftown/Please, do not start overclocking with the question in the first thread... I get shivers from that. You *have* to know what you're doing.
