Aww man nice setup!!

 

I'd push for higher than 4ghz since you have a better cooler and potentially better chip than I!!

 

I'd recommend reading up on one or two i7 1366 overclocking guides, they will familiarize you with the bios terminology and how to balance what settings for what pieces.

The guide Ivy recommends is a good one. there is also this guide that is a good one. I7 OC guide Nice set-up. Just make sure you do not get much over 85c. they don't like it up there.
