Have you encountered the Stickies that may assist you in achieving your goal. Overclocking is more than changing the clock

speeds to something someone else had success with and expecting similar results. Here is my best advice right now, take

some time read this STICKY - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/240001-29-howto-overclock-quads-duals-guide . It is

kind of hiding at the very top of the Overclocking page in large bold letters so I can understand if you missed it. After you

have read this, feel free to ask more in depth questions and we will happily answer them.
