I own the x4 860k with the hyper 212 Evo and I'm just starting out with overclocking. I need some guidance on this because I don't want to damage any components.

Basic AMD OC technique:
Turn off turbo mode in BIOS, add one CPU multiplier, save and close to Windows. Perform a stress test on the CPU. If it succeeds, continue. When it fails (becomes unstable), gradually boost the vcore in the smallest permitted increments. Test again. Persist until stable or reach 1.5V. Beyond that, proceed cautiously as you may risk further instability. In short, increase multiplier first, then adjust vcore carefully. But don't expect miracles—this process is risky and not guaranteed.
