First Overclock

[immy]

My first steps in overclocking this week. Need some help.

My system setup is
Antec Solo Case
P35 DS3P MB
C2D 6320 Processor
Ninja Scythe Rev B Cpu Cooler
4 Gig Crucial Ballistix 5300 Memory
Innov3d 8600GT Graphics card


What software do I need to monitor
system/MB/CPU temps?
Fan Speeds?
Stability?
Anything else?

Which should I increase first, memory timings or CPU FSB on stock volts?

To use Speed Fan, do i need to have fans with a speed sensing wire on them i.e a 4th wire as opposed to 3

So is it better to use software control i.e speed fan
or to buy a fan controller that you wire the fans up to , and can adjust speeds via knobs on the controller?
