Help!!! I cannot find ANY info on how to overclock a non-extreme edition 980 to 4.0 ghz!

Here's my specs

i7 980
H80 Corsair liquid cooler
EVGA x58 FTW3 mobo
24 gigs of 1600 mhz patriot ram (9-9-9-24)

I have CPU-Z, Prime 95, and REALTEMP GT... I've run it through it's paces stock and now would like to reach 4.0 ghz which should be very easy with my set up... I just have NO idea on what to change in my bios... non of the templates I've found fit my needs

The 980(NON-X) has the same principle as the 920

the 980 has the multiplier locked at 25x instead of 20x (for 920) but will jump to 26x with turbo

the link below should give you all the info you need.

Overclocking is not a "template" you can apply to every CPU.

Each CPU has different properties when it comes to overclocking.

Follow the guides on How to over clock it. but you have to find the sweet spot on your own.

DONT PUMP THE VOLTAGE TO HIGH
WATCH YOUR TEMPS
GIVE IT A GOOD FEW HOURS ON PRIME95 TO ENSURE ITS STABLE

All that stuff is great, but there's SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS to play with, and people are lowering some numbers and raising others, there's no way I'm just gonna start playing with numbers randomly...

I'm sure someone has at least a ball park place for me to start.. and then I can maybe tweak from there.. thoughts?
