hello could someone give instructions on how to overclock my cpu from 3ghz to 3.2ghz, i know its a small oc but i need it to make this game run properly (bad port).

athllon II x3 440 3GHz AC freezer 7
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3377#ov
2x 2gb ddr3 1333MHz kingston valueram
HD 6850 asus
OCZ stealthxstream2 500w

i havnt oc before (im familiar with using bios)so can you be specific (its not my pc im doing it on), but really oc'ing that small shouldnt be dangerous should it?

i read through that article buzznut but i still dont feel comfortable enough to start changing all of those settings. as i understand only black edition have unlocked multiplier, (which seems to be the simple way) so i will need to change bus speed, ht link, memory timings and so on and thats a lot to get right. the thing which intimidates me most is having to change the timings on the ram, cant you recommend some settings just from knowing my cpu/mobo i only need .2GHz increase

I understand how to raise fsb and lower nb multiplier to match it now but i dont quite get the Memory Clock Mode. you can only choose 400 533 667 and 800mhz. in cpuz the DRAM freqency is 667, but now if i overclock (raise fsb and match nb) how will i calculate the dram freq. to match it? and does this mean i have to base my overclock on dram frequencies available to me? ie 533mhz
