Overclocking i7-970 + Rampage III Formula + OCZ3P1866C9LV2G RAM

[NoMonitor]

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm getting a new GPU on Friday and I'm afraid that my old 3.2GHz i7-970 will become a bottleneck for me during first person shooter gaming such as CS:GO.

I would love to get around 4.0GHz out of it, if possible.

I'm looking for recommendations on where to start. I can't seem to find guides in these forums but I know I have in the past. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the link. I'll post back when I get into it and touch base with any questions. I'm going to have to read that about 10x to get it all to stick in my head.
