How do I overclock?????

I want to overclock my 1055t to 3ghz. I dont know how to do this :confused:

and I dont want to use Turbo V

Specs:
Amd 1055t 95w
Asus m4a89gtd pro
Ocz ddr3 1600mhz
Corsair H50 with stock fan

Any help is appreciated

EDIT: Also by overclocking will I significantly reduce the life of my cpu ?

Thanks, I dont know how i missed that thread. What is the max voltage I should use for my 1055t, I undervolted it when i got it but I dont remember the stock voltages, what is a good voltage for 3ghz?

I bumped up the voltage to 1.1875 and dropped the ram voltages from 1.65 to 1.55 because the frequency dropped from 1600 to 1438 mhz. Is there any way i can make the ram frequency 1600mhz again ?. Also from i raised the fsb from 200 to 215 because the multiplier is 14.

OCCT produced graphs, I dont know what they mean but you can take a look for yourself, also I got the voltages from turbo v are they ok?

Why does cpu-z report a different cpu voltage to the voltage i set on turbo v?

Thanks blue, I have ended up with a voltage lower than what i started with (only by a little) I am now running at 1.071875 I originally ran it it 1.0875. I have tested it for 15 mins on prime so i think its stable. I have never seen my cpu usage over 40% so I think it will be ok. Also I noticed that the stock corsair fan can get quite loud at 1300rpm is there a good fan you can recommend that's quieter and will get better temperatures?

When I lower voltages from Turbo V it is stable but when i put the same voltage in the bios it is unstable. Which I think is weird. Also are my cpu/nb voltage, sb voltage , ht voltage etc. ok?
