Hi,
I'm trying to overclock my ASUS P6x58D (i7-920). I don't want to have it run extremely hot, but I'd like to shoot for 3.8GHz as I'd like to keep this system for a while.

I've been trying to find is a simple set of instructions on how to adjust the ~54 BIOS Settings in the Ai Tweaker and it hasn't been easy.

If anyone has suggestions, or settings they could share, that would be great.

Also, if this is the wrong approach I could use some advice on how to best get started.

System Detail & Current Ai Tweaker Settings below.
Thank you!
