Watercooling suggestions for this setup

[Turbotwo]

You should be able to get a decent OC out of the H50 Corsair cooler. When it came out it was being compared to the top end air coolers. This was a while ago but, yeah you should be able to do 3.8 w/ eaze. Once you start going above 3.8 it gets harder to get stable. 4.0 and beyond can be incredibly frustrating to get stable >.<

I just don't even know the first thing in regards to actually carrying it out step by step, I've looked at some guides but there's no real idiots guide to it lol. I've never done it before, any guide I've seen seems to assume that the reader possesses a basic knowledge of Overclocking.

It's not very hard to get a medium OC, getting something 4 Ghz + does require a bit more understanding and time though.

If you have a Black Edition, just raise the multiplier slowly and increase the core voltage if necessary and make sure your RAM isn't running out of spec. Run a stability test like Prime95 and make sure the Temps don't exceed 70ish degrees.

How do exactly am I to do either of those?

What motherboard do you have?

Apology for the blurry video in advance, but it'll give you a quick preview as to the layout of your BIOS.

When you boot up your CPU, hit the Delete key to enter the BIOS. You'll want to navigate to the 'System Frequency & Voltage' section. The CPU ratio is the multiplier (start with this) and the frequency is the FSB (not as effective as upping the multiplier). From here just read up on some overclocking FAQs and they should help you out.

I just checked the video then my BIOS I don't have alot of those options that he is changing. I guess I'll try updating the BIOS but I was pretty sure I had the latest one. Also what is ASUS Core Unlocker? When I boot up it says "Press 4 to enable ASUS Core Unlocker"

[Turbotwo]

It's the SB Voltage option I'm missing.

[Jurgen]

You really shouldn't worry about the SB option, as it has very little to do with CPU overclocking.

ASUS Core unlocker is designed to attempt to unlock certain dual or tri-core AMDs to quad-core. Not something you need to worry about since you have a 955.

Just focus on the CPU voltage and the FSB/NB voltage.

Explanation of the different 'settings'.

[Turbotwo]

Can't figure it out, I think this shit is way over my head lol. I need someone to guide me through it in person or over AIM or something. More of a visual learner...

[Jurgen]

For some reason my PMs are being retarded. My AIM is XCRapid.

Sweet, I'll message you in a bit if that's cool, girlfriend is over, bitching at me. You know the drill... :\
