Just wondering where i should start for a little bit of OC'ing?

Just go into the advanced M.I.T. settings. Have it automatically adjust your voltages, and up your FSB.

Cheers mate what amout do i put in ive tried a few but no sucess so far im looking for about 3ghz is there a formula?

You are going to want your FSB to be at least 500Mhz for a 3Ghz clock. Upping your CPU voltage by 0.05v may help some to keep this stable, though the motherboard when set to auto is pretty good about keeping your voltages consistent. You might hit a wall because of your RAM though. It may not play well with the 55% increase in FSB, so watch out for that.
