Well for starters make sure you got some proper cooling, and a proper PSU. If so, then you could start increasing the multiplier bit by bit and test. Go for 4GHZ, and test. Make sure to come back with results. Also it would be good if you'd post your rig specs too so we know what we're dealing with

Is this your first time overclocking? if yes, make sure you follow my instructions above... (Go for 4GHz on stock volts using the multiplier and stress test then come back with the results ...stable/unstable... and we'll take it from there.^_^

Agreed. Stick to the BIOS and stick with stock voltage and see how far you can push it by ticking up the multiplier only. Download and install OCCT too as its the best stress tester IMO because it has all the monitoring utilities right there with it. One stop shopping. 
Once you set a speed, try to run 10 minutes of OCCT. If it passes and your temps don't exceed 61C them bump the core speed up another notch and repeat. When you crash, up the voltage a tick. When you hit the point where you can't stay under 61C temps then you've hit your wall.
Once you think you've got it, you'll want to run OCCT for a couple hours at least to make sure it is stable for 24/7 use.
Once you get your best OC, then we'll then your attention to the CPU/NB amr HT Link speed as they can give a decent boost in performance too.

too many shrooms
cool i don't think i am gonna try this tonight as i am going to bed shortly but i will defiantly be doing this tomorrow afternoon, thanks for the advice guys i will post up news on my success/epic fail tomorrow haha. oh i will throw some pic of my rig up tomorrow too an my ideas of where i wanna go with it
thanks again guys
thanks again guys
Small increments, add 0.05V and test. if it proves to be unstable add another 0.05 And your voltage is set on auto? When you stress tested it, what happend to the voltage? did it drop? what is your Idle voltage? Have you disable all your power saving features? if not yet, do it.
Seems strange to me that it' not stable on stock volts. Maybe you should set the stock voltage manually an try again before increasing.

It has a Vdrop there, try setting it to 1.28V and prime again, see how things go, and monitor the voltage and the temps and come back with the results.
