Forum Overclocking : CPUs OC Noob Starting out - thoughts

Word :    Username :           
 

I am on a journey to OC my Core i7 930. I am going to be taking off my Corsair H50 and re-thermal pasting it (haven't since I installed it originally over a year ago) and swapping everything into my new Thermaltake level 10 snow edition and then overclocking it. Just wanted some thoughts on what I should be looking for and if anyone uses an i7 930 ( or 920 ) and overclocks theirs what voltage/speed/ etc they are running.

I downloaded these programs
Real Temp
LinX 0.6.4
Prime 95

Not really sure how to utilize these to their fullest but this the read out from last night using LinX - Ran 20 times * NOT overclocked or re-thermal paste YET *
Any of this stand out to someone as being good/bad etc? Highest temp while running Linx looks like 69c - came back with 0 errors = good? lol
