The whole key to this is to know your hardware first, that is cpu and ram so their settings don't interfere with board settings.

I jumped a E8600, 10x multi proved too tempting. I'm watercooling my chipsets too, it helps for stability at higher fsb/clocks.
Ive tried cpu vcore up to 1.45v, this cpu has a vid of 1.275v also it was 3.8ghz stable in a 790i with 1.35v
