How do I overclock my Pentium D 2.80GHz on my EVGA 730i motherboard? I have a 450W power supply made by bfg.

If you need to ask how, you aren't there yet. Have you done any research at all on overclocking? I'm surprised your EVGA board didn't come with an overclocking utility.

This is not really something that you want to attempt without doing a lot of reading first, and you dont want to learn on your main computer..its too easy to make a mistake and end up with a paperweight for a computer. There are several communities dedicated to overclocking where you can learn the basics and hopefully avoid many of the pitfalls that new overclockers make... One that I would recommend is Overclockers.com. Hope this helps... ;)
