I've been running the Core i7 2600k processor with the P8P67 motherboard at stock speeds. I've never overclocked, but it's something I've always wanted to do. What would be the easiest overclock I can perform with this motherboard? Something I can start with. I'm reading a lot about overclocking, but I just want to start with something.

set vcore to 1.3, and the multiplier to 40. If you have aftermarket cooling, that should be almost a given.

Just put the Turbo multiplier up to 45x, leaving everything else at default. Enjoy your new 4.5GHz CPU.

I personally didn't have much luck with the AutoOC stuff that came with my Asus P8P67. It increased the BCLK to 104MHz and that was about it.

My advice is the same as Zap's - only with more details. :)
Go into the BIOS, Advanced, AITuner, CPU, set turbo to control by OS.
Download (or install from the CD, but there's a new one) Asus AISuite II, go to TurboV, click advanced and then click above the ratio about 5-7 times to make the bar go up to 42 to 45 depending on how aggressive you want to be.
That's it.

Edit: on second thought, I didn't have a lot of success messing with the ratios until I updated the BIOS. So maybe you want to do that too. :) If you don't see the button for "turbo control by OS", then update your BIOS.

I have the same mobo+cpu. I just bumped up the CPU multiplier from auto to 40 for 4 Ghz without changing anything else. Works like a charm.

Just ramp up the multiplier and do your calculations. dont change anything else,

With just a higher multi u can go faster without touching voltages yet. Depends how far you wanna OC, Then you would have to add CPU voltage which makes your CPU hotter and possibly a shorter life or not stable.

Ok, I used TurboV to increase the multiplier to 42. That's all I did. Does it look ok? Now it's time to run some stability tests:

I took this snapshot while running SETI@Home:
