Overclocking a Intel i7 920

[Night]

Hi, I'm all new to overclocking things, and I wanted to overclock my Intel i7 920 to a max speed where it doesn't need to get water cooling. My CPU Cooler is the ASUS Triton 88, so it should be able to handle overclocked temperatures.

How or is there a guide on overclocking my CPU?

I heard that to overclock the CPU you have to know your system specifications so here:

Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD4P
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits
Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz
RAM: 6GB DDR3 Corsair i7
Graphic Card: GTX470.
HDD:
-300GB 7200rpm
-1TB 7200rpm
Power Supply: Gigabyte 800W

What's the max GHz I can overclock the i7 920 without needing to replace the cooling system for water and how to do it?

Thanks.

Every piece of hardware and hardware configuration is different, you have to learn how to overclock. We can't just tell you to set this voltage to X and that clock to Y.

Some tips however..
The CPU speed equals the FSB (Front Side Bus) speed times the clock multiplier.
Intel FSBs are quad-pumped, essentially meaning that the effective FSB is 4x the actual FSB
DDR (doesn't matter what number) RAM has an effective speed 2 times that of it's actual speed. So if you have RAM that says DDR2 1066, it's technically going to be running at 533mhz (or 400mhz if you have a memory multiplier of 2.66)

You'll want your FSB and RAM speeds to have a matching effective speed for the best stability, if not, you will have a bottleneck. You should also manually set your RAM timings (CPU-Z will tell you all of the modes that your RAM has) and disable Intel Speedstep and those 'graphics boosters'.

There are a lot more factors that come into play such as voltage, but those are the basics. You need to test higher values, if that doesn't POST, go lower. Don't try setting your CPU speed to 5.3ghz though.

Finally, be ready with a jumper to stick onto your CMOS reset. You'll probably need to reset it a few times, GIGABYTE mobos can be iffy with the recovery after overclock failure.
