I am wondering if anyone could tell me what my bios settings should be for a modest air-cooled overclock with the following components:
-i7 950 (with Thermalright Ultra-120 rev. C hsf)
-Corsair DDR3 1333 Mhz RAM. I forgot, but I think this is the one I have:

I realize there is a lot of information about overclocking i7s out there, but some of it seems to be conflicting and I really know little about the whole process and want to make sure I get a decent overclock that won't kill my CPU or RAM.
Overclocking used to be so much simpler back in the days of the Pentium and Celeron. Now you have to know about the QPI multiplier, Vcore, VTT, Vdimm, etc. and it's all just over my head!
Thanks for any help.
