    Hello my friends. I few weeks ago I purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and installed it on my motherboard.

    I have the following hardware:
    Corsair Powersupply TX 850W
    Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 6GB CL9
    ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, X58, Socket-1366
    Intel Core i7 Quad Processor i7-920

    My question is, how do I proceed with overclocking it safely? And what do I install to monitor the heat? I'm not interested in overclocking it to a hardcore level where it borderline breaks, but I heard that 920's are pretty good and easy to overclock in general. At the moment it's unclocked and at 2.7 ghz, I was hoping to get it somewhere around 3,5 or so. So once again, how do I proceed and what should my limits be? :D How do I know if I'm overdoing it or doing it correctly? Oh and what temperature should I not breach with my CPU ?

    Thanks!
