How to overclock the cpu the right way? So I overclocked my cpu (AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition) to 3.6Ghz @ 1.3v. Just wanted to ask if 1.3v is ok with 3.6Ghz(200x18). Do I need to increase it a bit?

if the system is running stable there's no need for more voltage.

Overclocking for me has never shown any big improvements, I avoid it entirely.
