How to Overclock

[zippy93]

Im a noob when it comes to overclocking so if someone could give me a step by step guide on how to do it that would be great this is my CPU and Motherboard:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66ghz
Asus P5KPL/1600

I would like to go to 3.0ghz no more and please dont reply unless you know how to overclock on this exact board

Just raise the fsb MR noob..........until you get upto 3.0ghz.
It will be no problem even with the stock cooler......
you can raise the fsb in the bios.

And while you are at it, for voltage and thermal management:
Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide

And google something like " overclock asus p5kpl" for a guide for your particular motherboard.
