Help first time overclock i7 930 with UD7

[sl00tje]

Two days ago I got my components and yesterdag I finished building my new system. I'm an overclocker in training so I would be happy if you can help me overclocking this system.

System:

CPU: Intel Core i7 930
CPU Cooler: Prolimatech Mega Shadow
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD7
Memory: Kingston HyperX 6GB DDR3 2000 CL8
Hard Drive: Intel X25-M Postville 80GB SSD
Graphics Card: ATI HD5450 (waiting for Fermi release)
Case: Lian Li TYR PC-X1000
Power Supply: Enermax Revolution85+ 1050W



My goal, CPU speed 4.0GHz (higher if possible), RAM 2000MHz CL8 for 24/7.

First I've tested my RAM with Memtest86+ v4.00. Load Optimized Defaults in BIOS. Settings: RAM: 1001MHz (DDR3-2002) / CAS: 8-8-8-24. Pass Complete, no errors.
