hey guys the time has come for me new i3 to be oced as i have just gotten my arctic freezer 7 pro rev 2 installed and running. it is a core i3 540 at the clock of 3.06 ghz atm and it runs at 55degress with prime on. now i want this to get overclocked to 4ghz :D a few questions that i need to ask though as it is my first real overclock. having a look in the bios if i activate the xmp my cpu automatically clocks to 3.6ghz and i get about 1.3volts put through it. i was wondering if i could just change the bclk and fsb to something like 23x174 or maybe 20x200? any advice is great :D
 
bit of a bump here but would this work?
Vcore: 1.25v
Bclk: 182
FSB: x22
that would give me an overall overclock of 4004.7mhz.
should i do that after putting my xmp on so that the ram is already set to the required volts and stuff. :D
