I just built this new rig which is shown in my signature. I am a complete noob to overclocking and have no idea how to do it. I have looked through the AI Suite that comes with this motherboard and decided it is best for me to not change anything because I will likely screw up. I need to know exactly what to do. In the AI Booster it has options for CPU frequency and ratio. Also, options for DRAM voltage and frequency and PCIE frequency. I do not know where to start. Help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I'd start by Googling "overclocking guide ASUS P5B-Deluxe" and reading several of the the results that come up. Look like there are several detailed guides including bios screenshots.
 
Don't use the AI program.

Go into the bios (press Delete or F2)

The main settings to change are:

PCI lock or RATIO to 33.33

PCI Express frequency to 100-105

DDR RAM or VDimm Voltage and timings to whatever the manufacturer says it should be (can't go wrong there...)

Disable C1E, Speedstep, Thermal control and anything Spectrum or Throttle related.

Set the RAM RATIO to 1:1, 2X, 2.0, or 533 (whatever your board calls it)

Change the FSB from 266mhz to 300mzh. Your RAM should now read 600mhz (or enter the setting yourself).

The CPU Voltage should not exceed 1.55V. 1.5V is already high. 1.55 is very high.

Whatch your temperatures with the AI suite, CoreTemp, Or Intel's TAT program.

Keep it 60c or under during LOAD.

Go into the bios, and set it to MANUAL overclocking under Jumperfree Settings.

PCI lock or RATIO to 33.33

PCI Express frequency to 100-105

DDR RAM or VDimm Voltage and timings to whatever the manufacturer says it should be (can't go wrong there...) The Timings are under the NB settings (NOT JUMPERFREE SETTINGS)

Disable C1E, Speedstep, Thermal control and anything Spectrum or Throttle related. These are all under CPU settings, NOT JUMPERFREE SETTINGS!

Set the RAM Frequency to 533 (should be under Jumperfree settings)

Change the FSB from 266mhz to 300mhz. Your RAM should now equal 600mhz, but it won't report it in the BIOS, instead use CPUZ under windows to check.

The CPU Voltage should not exceed 1.55V. 1.5V is already high. 1.55 is very high.
