Google is your friend for a question so basic as this if you have anything more specific then search first and start a thread if you find nothing.

Ok first off best google overclocking your asus board then download bios screenshots of the overclocked asus bios. That in itself is good start ps asus bios has some quirky settings so do most common settings first then test then u'll have to search out the more finer options

There is a guy on the EVGA forums that has your setup. He got his to 3.4 with no voltmods an crappy cooling. I am sure if you have something like 9700 Zalman or a Thermalright 120 w/fan you can get a little better than that with a little luck.

 

You will need to Volt Mod your motherboard with a Pencil at least after you hit the FSB wall. I did a ton of research on that motherboard and CPU.
