Im trying to overclock my QX6800 with my new set of desktop components as shown below :

PROC: INTEL QX6800 @2.93Ghz SLACP
MOBO : Biostar TP43-HP
PSU: Gigabyte SuperB 720W
HDD: Seagate 500GB 32MB
RAM: 2 x corsair DDR2 800Mhz

im totally new in overclocking, it will be glad if someone can guide me a bit or tell me where to start as i intended to take my QX6800 to 3.2-3.5 Ghz without any risky adjustment (if possible ) cause i heard that rising the CPU voltage will somehow shortened the life span of the Processor itself.

i've went through some of the article from " Fundamentals of Overclocking, NEWBIES PLS READ THIS BEFORE POSTING " but most of the URL aren't valid anymore so i have no idea where should i start from.

i knew a little bit of how FSB and multiplier works from here URL :Q8200 vs Q6600 if going ....
but still , i have no idea what value of FSB and multiplier should i use to get to 3.2-3.5Ghz for this QX6800

Any pro mind to guide me a bit in this matter coz i really want to get myself into OC'ing and hope that i can be one of those OC Pros out there one day

To make things easier for the pros to review on QX6800, here are some of the features :

for the FSB , any value will do as long as it does not exceed 400Mhz (RAM 800Mhz)?
