properly overclocking Intel Q6600 GO and RAM ?

[ndavidson18]

I have the Q6600 GO and the EVGA 780i Motherboard with 4GB of Corsair Dominator RAM running at 1066MHz. I'd like to overclock both my processor and RAM, but don't know which settings to change to what and so forth? Could anyone tell me the best way to overclock these? Thanks!

turn off c1e and speedstep. then proceed to move your cpu fsb up bit by bit, testing stability at each change, then when you reach either your target speed or your computer crashes, you stick with what was stable. you may need to increase ur vcore as well. For the ram, simply up the clocks in the same way as ur cpu. lower timings as well and u should be good to go!
