    What is this "Google"  you speak of ? Yes I have read and tried many of these article off of the internet, but some of them actually burned up my mobo, this why I am asking here.

    Common sense will have you not burn up your mobo. The only way you burn up your motherboard is if you increase voltage WAY too high and don't know the slightest thing about what you're doing. You obviously didn't read enough articles if you've burned up a motherboard. There are even articles posted here if you used the search function. 

    Have you any idea how many people come in here asking to be spoon-fed the answers to overclocking tutorials? What if we took the time to write it out for each individual person? The steps have already been written, and if you followed a good overclocking tutorial, you would never damage any of your components.

     

    Try again.
