Hi guys, first of all sorry If I've posted this in the wrong place.

I have a foxconn a88gmx motherboard with a phenom x2 1090t processor.

It's currently rubbing at the stock 3.2GHZ with a stock air cooler, and it's idling at around 35-40.

I want to possibly overclock to help me get better performance in FSX.

Don't expect to get upto anything silly but somewhere upto or around 3.8ghz would be a nice start.

First of all I know I will need better cooling. But don't have a massive budget so water cooling may be a bit out of my reach, but I have seen an "Arctic Cooling Freezer A30 CPU Cooler" over at scan. Would something like that be adequate?

My next question is how to go about the overclock correctly? I had a quick go by upping the clock multiplier in the bios from 200 to 210 which gave me a bit more juice, I then upped it to 220 which got me to around the 3.6 mark, and it worked however once I tested with a bit of load it didn't take long to cut out so I can only assume it overheated so I reverted back to how it was. Would I need to be changing any voltages etc aswell? I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to but when it comes to overclocking I am a complete noob.

I have been using hw monitor to look at my temps, and with the stock fan and at stock speeds under load the cpu is reaching upwards of 60c so I don't think there's any room for manoeuvre with my current setup.
