Hi, I have been told it would be a good idea to overclock my CPU. I have tried to find a guide for my setup but the ones I have found have all been slightly different to what I see in my BIOS.
I read a post on another forum saying that I can just change the multiple in BIOS and the voltages etc will be decided for me.
I decided to try x43 and it saves in the BIOS, when I stress test with Prime 95 I see in CPU-z that it only goes to x37 but it says (16-43)
Here is a picture with multiple hardware monitors showing results as Prime 95 is running.

Could anyone tell me if im doing something wrong? I am very new to overclocking so any advice will be appreciated.
As an update, I have this CPU cooler. http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=2&cid=12&id=64
