Try google: Intel 1156 Overclock Guide for i5/i7

I don't think anyone's got that board here, but the process should be similar for 99% of boards out there. The Blck is what you use to overclock these processors, increase voltage when it's not unstable at the desired clock and check temps with IBT/prime95, be sure to use a good cooler as these i7 with all 8 threads gets toasty.

well, i got the same cooler as u got... i ran it @4.2ghz... not 24x7 but the cooler is doing its job nicely... problem is i oc'ed my pc with extreme autotuning with asus turboV evo oc software... barely did anything myself... but that does make my pc unstable... so i need to oc it myself in bios... which i did... but when i try to change bclk ratio or change cpu level up... system crashes and when i restart it, shows oc failed, reset to default mode...

That's because it needs more volts, maybe? Try increasing it in small increments and see if it's stable. Oh you got the OCK too? Nice.
