Overclocking e4300

[Egon]

About a month ago I put out a request for help on a build, well i'm ordering the parts this week and here's what I've settled on:

MB: Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi nForce 650
CPU: E4300
RAM: Geil Ultra PC2-6400 C4
GFX: EVGA 8800GTS 320mb Superclocked
HDD: WDC SE16 500GB 5000AAKS
Cooling: Scythe Ninja Rev. B

I'm looking to overclock this a little, the last thing I overclocked though was my Barton 2500+ to a 3200+ which was a simple multiplier change (piece of cake). I'm looking to try and stretch beyond that this time. So 1 or 2 questions.

1. Is it going to be as easy to overclock is there a bit more to it?
2. I know I can adjust voltages, but having never done that will this setup allow me to?
3. Is there a good guide anyone knows of that would help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah i'll be using the sticky when the time comes and I start the OC'ing process. Was hoping for just some pointers.

On a slightly different point is the motherboard a good option to get the most out of the e4300, I was hoping to get around the 2.7Ghz mark. I've read the Asus P5N-E or the Gigabyte DS3 are other options and some say a better shout than the Abit which has BIOS issues???

Opinions please

Well i'd almost made my mind up on the DS3P after trawling through numerous threads for the last hour. Not too many complaints heard and MANY happy owners.... and after your glowing review I think that pretty much seals it for me.... thanks

Next thing to do is get it ordered and then get clocking
