Overclocking a i7 960 to 4.0

[subbytna]

I want to take this setup from stock speeds to a 4.0 overclock. What settings on this motherboard do I need to change...I kinda need an idiots guide on exactly what volt changes to what section in the BIOS....anyone able to help?...please

I'll be sorting out a cooler when I get the Overclock settings tested. As long as I know what things to set to what to get 4.0 I'll take care of the cooler asap.

Decent guide here for clocking the i7 9** series chips, i used this for my 920 and p6t deluxe v2 combo.

The p6 x58 bios is identical in layout to the p6t. The main voltages youll have to tweak are, cpu vcore, and qpi-dram voltage, as your using 12gb of ram youll likely need a fair bit more qpi voltage as opposed to using 6gb in a 3x2 config.

Thanks for that, a good starting point for me
