Any easy way to overclock?

Ok.. Well I just got into building computers. I did my first build in October with an E6300, an Asus P5NSLI, and 1gb Crucial Ballistax ram. Since then I have sold the ram and got two gigs of corsais XMS2.

Now I have been reading up on overclocking... lots and lots of reading. It is just all so confusing. I was wondering if there was just any easy way to overclock. Like a motherboard that had some sort of software for windows or whatnot that would be able to overclock with. I don't mean all the manual changes but just an app that would automaticly scan your system and find your highest oc.

I know this is probally a dream by a longshot but if it isn't please let me know.

If such a tool were out there, surely you would've heard about it during your travels.
 
The closest thing to automatic might be finding someone with the same board, ram, and cpu as you, then just try plugging in their OC settings and hope it works. :D If it doesn't work, it might just need some slight modifying.

depends on who'se settings your coping.

but uhh, Ntune has an abillity like that.

and its not really all that complicated man, I dont know where you got the impression that it was. i mean, if you want every last god damn MHz you can get out of your board you need to make it complicated, but for the average overclocking joe who wants 3Ghz from their E6300, you dont need to make it complicated.

what exactly do you find complicated? perhalps we can un-complicate it for you?

Asus boards have auto-overclocking features.

Yes I know. The P5NSLI I have right now can AI oc up to 20% but when I set it there and go into windows it doesn't register as being oc'd at all. I just figured their AI oc sucked.

get cpuid to look at windows to see the real speed. dont look at it at AI.
 
Bleet OCin the P5N-E is easy. Well its easy to get a fairly decent OC out of the CPU anyway. Dont ask me about memory...

By just increasing the FSB I have taken my E4300 from 1.8Ghz to 3.0 Ghz. I believe with a stock cooler you should be good for at least 2.6Ghz, if you want to get over 3 you will need a third party cooler and perhaps a bit more patience, might need to start playing with the voltages to keep it stable.
