Hello RoG community!

I am looking for a overclocking guide to overclock my FX-8120 processor. I am a complete beginner when it comes to overclocking. So I do not know all the ins and outs of each section of overclocking. I have attempted a few tries at OCing with EVO and just tweaking in the BIOS, but with no luck. Could someone point me to a guide or videos to help me out with all the different settings that need to be changed. I am using kingston hyperX 1600MHz RAM. Not sure if that will have any effect on my OCing.
