How to overclock an AMD Athlon II X4 640 processor

[redesign]

I was wondering how I should go about overclocking this processor with the following build:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz
MOBO: gigabyte s-series GA-MA78LMT-S2/GA-MA78LMT-S2H
RAM: Ripjaws x series 8 GB (2x4GB) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5700 series
OS: Windows 7 - 64 bit

I have three fans in my case (including power supply) and don`t plan on adding extra cooling anytime soon.

Here's a guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/777378/official-gappos-little-deneb-thuban-overclocking-guide-with-too-many-smileys/0_100 All K10 chips clock the same way;except with a Propus,You might want to have the HT link same as CPU/NB..DOn't quote me on that, though.

Bus speed 241 multiplier 240.00 = 3.5 ghz

What voltage are you using, please? I know it's different protcessor to processor - just to imagine where I should start.

3.5-3.7 is a good overclock for those chips on air.
