Ok this is going to sound extremely noob, but you have to realize that I know of only one person that can build a computer much less anyone that knows what a multiplier or voltage are. You guys are in the top .01% of people in terms of computer knowledge.

With that out of the way, I'm a bit lost as to the steps for overclocking properly, here's what I've deciphered.

1) Increase the FSB and leave the multiplier alone
2) Once the computer fails to boot you then clear the CMOS
--> question is that just done by unplugging the silver circle battery?
3) Then you start to increase the V-core which sounds like the main voltage to the CPU
4) You do this a bit until you get it stable while staying under 1.4v?
5) Once you get to 1.4v you start upping the PPL (I have no idea what this is)
6) If both of those don't work you up the voltage of your ram to like 2.0v
7) Check to make sure your load CPU temp is under 60C?? (I'm at 35C stock with my Thermalright 120X)

So here's my questions
1) When do you change the multiplier? Do you always leave it or mess around to get the highest total CPU speed? The stock settings are 333Mhz FSB with a x9 multiplier. This means I'd have to drop the multiplier to make my ram go fast?
2) How does this relate to pushing your RAM? I have 1066Mhz so that means it should take 533fsb? This is a 1:1 ratio that I want right?

I want to get 4.0ghz (or close) so I was thinking I'd shoot for a 500FSB with x8 and a vCore ~1.4 and ram @ 2.0v

Please Please Please Please help me or at least link me to something I can read. I love researching, but I really need some guidance now!
