i own an e8400 cpu oc at 3,8... i aim to boost it to 4-4.1 ghz, but i need to adjust voltages—I’ve never done that before.
i have an xfx 6950 gpu already overclocked with 890 core clock and 1415 memory clock. i’m unsure if pushing it further is safe, especially avoiding overheating or issues...
my system has 4gb (2x2gb ddr2 at 800mhz) and a p45turbotwins2000.
if i upgrade my ram to 8gb ddr3, will performance improve?
please help me achieve the best results without harming my hardware.

My CPU is the best one I've had, I can't recall the exact moment, but my temperatures never went above 54°C during full load at 3.8GHz. My case doesn't have great airflow either...
