Check out Overclockers.com if you already haven't. I don't think they have a step by step walkthrough but it has some darn good info.

I wouldn't overclock it at all until you know exactly what you are doing, noobs (no offense) are very good at frying processors in thier first few attempts at OC'ing. Study first then when you feel comfortable with all the settings and the math behind it then OC your procs guts out.
