What is the easiest, simplest way to overclock a E2180 on a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R motherboard?

I am a complete noob at overclocking so i would need a nice step by step guide to increasing it. I have read the sticky but i need a simpler step by step!!!

Thanks

Also would help if you posted more details/spec of your setup.

up the fsb, whilst keeping your ram on the lowest devider possible... not the best board to clock a 200fsb cpu with i'm afraid...

So, just up the FSB? What about the multiplyer?

start on 210 and see if it boots. then progress in 5mhz steps. do you know how to reset bios if it all goes wrong

depends on what you class as best speed, do you mean the fastest the chip will run? or the fastest the chip will run without major heat issues?

make sure you got a decent aftermarket cooler, and up the fsb by either 5 or 10, when you get to a stage when its not stable (e.g freezing or bsod) restart and drop the fsb by half of what your steps are (so if your going up in 10's the lower your fsb by 5) until you get to a speed your happy with
