Help overclocking Intel 970, X58

[fustasjoppheng]

Hello there community:)

 

I have an:

 

Intel® Core i7-970 Processor

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 24GB CL9

GTX 780 3GB Cuda.

 

Never overclocked before and I need some help doing so with my rig. Tried to read some of the guides, but, it is pretty confusing:) I just recently watched the Youtuber Linus doing it with a couple of VERY easy steps:

and I wonder: Can I maybe just do exactly what he does and safely get 4.0Mhz with my setup to?

 

I'm not really after squeezing it to the maximum, but getting some help boosting it up to the safe level of 4.0Mhz, would be greatly appreciated:)

Must Just follow that might be easy and quick. Check ur cooling.....etc. most hardware are not equally built especially cpu. You might need diff adjustments.
