Read it all first, then apply it two what you have, ask questions when you get stuck.

Knowledge is Power. To get it, one has to invest time.

i have same Mobo and cpu and cooler,this is what i did

Set FSB to 333
Set Multiplier to x9
voltage should be ok for stable 3.0GHz
set your memory to 2.00
also Disable C1E & E1ST In the bios
if it wont post on 3.0GHz.go up in small steps to 2.6-2.8

Don't forget to lock the PCI-E bus to 100 ......

Naa ... worst you can probably do is get it to where it won't boot the BIOS or failes to boot WinDoze ( That's what the Clear-Bios Functions are for

)

Bare in mind, all hardware is different, so the settings you chose and or mess about with will probably be a bit different, but fairly close.
