straight to point, here is my system

intel core i3 530
megahalem rev.b w/ cm 2000rpm led fan push/pull
gigabyte ga-p55a-ud4p
team xtreme PC3 16000 DDR3 LV 2000 MHz CL9 (2*2GB)
XFX Radeon HD5770

so far I have OC the processor up to 4Ghz, with all setting in auto except blck (set it to 182). With that result I can enter windows normally, with temp approximately 25C, but haven't tried with p95 or OCCT. For notes, auto made the setting to CPU Vid 1,36v, QPI Link 2913, Dram freq 910 (1820), fb:ram 4:20, 11-9-9-24-1t

Can someone help me in OC it manually because beside I'm noob in i3 530 I also noob in intel socket 1156, I was an AMD users. I wish I could reach at least 4,5Ghz with air as I saw many people did it.

for all the help I appreciate and thanks for it.
 
Enable HT
Turn Off all Power saving features
Use the 22X Multi
Vcore 1.25
VTT : 1.2
Keep your memory under 1600 for now
 
I've tried Ur suggestion, fail to stable in 4Ghz, is there something I missing? or U have another setting that I should try?
