1- Find the model of your RAM and go to the companies website. Find out what the timings are supposed to be, and be sure to manually insert them. 1- Don't worry about the ratio at first. Manually set the RAM multiplier to make it as close to the factory approved speed as possible. 3- The max "safe" voltage as per intel for the chip is 1.3625. Set it around 1.3 at first, you can tweak as needed. 4- Go through your entire BIOS with the guide Earthdog mentioned in hand. You need to turn off all the power saving options in the BIOS, as well as any turbo or accelerating features.
Overclocking is fairly simple, its just time consuming and tedious. However, you want to ensure that you have everything running cool and stable on minimum power for the longevity of the chip. The first processor I worked with took me about a week to tweak with all the right voltages and to its max. And about another 3 days when I bumped it down a bit for every day running.
