Is this your first OC or have you dabbled before?

If this is your first, then these guides will help

Read about it first, then come back with specific questions. If you want to overclock the graphics cards, that I can help with as its rather easier than the processor.

Set clocks using evga precision, stress testing with furmark and folding@home. Chose a clock a bit below what's stable to allow margin for error, ambient temps changing etc.

Copy bios off one of the cards, edit it using nibitor, flash it to each of the cards in turn using nvflash and a floppy disk. The cards are then permanently overclocked, and will remain so without software intervention.

4ghz is going to take a bit of skill with that cooler

From what I've read about the V8 3.6 or so will require a lot of skill.

Will be nice to see what can be achieved.

Is the V8 really that bad?

It's not bad, but it's not the best either, and for £54 you could get sooooo much better (Megahalems/TRUE with push-pull Kazi Jyuni 1900RPM's)
