MSI 790FX GD70 Overclocking Help

Hi

I am a total noob to overclocking but really want to get the best out of my custom built pc.

I have the msi 790fx gd70 mobo which has an unlocked multiplier. Can I leave FSB etc the same and just increase the multiplier from 16 to 18 for 3.6ghz on phenom 955?

Also do I need to make any considerations for heat or for voltage?
Finally will this auto overclock my ram at the same tim as this is running at 1066?

Thanks
Paul

its the chip that has the unlocked mutli mate and yes just up the multi and stress test with OCCT or prime until you crash then you c an start mixing the ref clocks and volt's

Do it in increments.

A little at a time, and test.
