For sure. Take the time to read my tutorial.

No, it's not a be all and end all of overclocking tutorials. Not even close. But it does cover in depth all the basic stuff you really want to KNOW before you start, and will help get you on the way to where those more advanced tutorials will make a lot of sense, which you can then apply to further tuning your overclock to really get the most out of it with the most stability and the least chance of harm to your system.
