Hey deviling, welcome!

If you're really serious about overclocking properly, I suggest you take the time to read the sticky posts in this section of the forum. Particularly:

You'll also be surprised at how much information has been laid out by previous peeps' conversations. Good luck!

So are we. Once you go through the guides and get a general idea of what you need to do, ask questions and you will get all the help you need.

But we expect you to do some of the work.

----------
Overclocking since 1978 - Z80 (TRS-80) from 1.77 MHz to 2.01 MHz

3.2MHz is not an overclock. It's an underclock. I know you mean 3.2GHz but could not pass it up. Start off by overclocking to 3GHz. that is 1333MHz FSB. Then increase it from there 100MHz.

Ok Since I have a Maximus 2 Formula Mobo. It lets Me overclock it as easy as Pie. Its Overclocked to 3.0Mhz Stable, No Problem. But i would Like to go Further More.

Any Ideas,

increase your voltage on your CPU up one step till it is stable.
