Please help me overclock my 3930K!

[xovius]

So, I recently (couple of months ago) built my first computer. I acquired quite a bit of money so I built a really high end system, I have a Rampage IV Extreme and a 3930K.
I recently added a simple watercooling loop to my rig (bought secondhand since I can't buy watercooling stuff from my country) which is only serving the CPU.
It's a 360mmx30mm rad (360mm Koolance cu1020v) and a Raystorm CPU block. Since I now have adequate cooling I'd love to see the overclocking potential of my CPU.

I'm a complete beginner in overclocking since this is my first overclockable computer so I have absolutely no knowledge of how to do it. What I'd really like is someone to basically hold my hand through the process. I really don't mind being treated like a noob since too much information is much better than not enough, so rather treat me like I'm seeing a computer for the first time than not

Here's a pic of my rig just to make this thread a bit more enjoyable

welcome to the forum,
have you gone through the stickies on over-clocking? do you have any software for stress
testing, hardware monitoring and validation?
to begin with, you'll wanna findout what you have first anfd then move from that point on.

Read the stickies but felt they provided little information, I have F@H for stress which I usually run 24/7 anyway. I have RealTempGT for temperature checking. CPU-Z for validation.

If you are new you need to read some threads here first, te info is all here and its been covered hundreds of times.

It will also help you ask more direct questions.

3min on google, and more than one decent guides comes up

Start by reading here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1189242/...anations-and-support-for-all-x79-overclockers

That should give you a place to start. Then come back if you need some specific help

Overclocking the 3930k is very easy. I have mine at 4.6ghz for 24/7 use.

There are a few guides on how to do it on google so just give it a quick search. Unfortunately the guide I used is no longer available so I cannot link you to it.

A good rule I find for overclocking is small steps at a time for things like voltages.

As above do as much reading as you can. Once you have an idea ask some questions
