There is two ways to OC

change multiplier

or

Raise the FSB and also max the voltage.

Have a calculator ready and get one with it

I dont know much about voltages on a i7 so I cant help you there, someone else will.

its FSB x mutliplier ,,,, as you raise the FSB make sure its voltage is maxed. Also the RAM speed will go up so you need divider,, like 1:1 would be great But make shure to underclock ram after raising the FSB soo much.

Set CPU Vcore to 1.38v and make shure RAM is at spec if not lower speeds. Someone with that OC on that chip should tell you the vcore , youll have to raise it soo heat will come, I hope your ready and everything in your rig stays cool. thx

You should do 4.2ghz easy with the above vcore and things I told you.
