Hi, I have an i5 3550 and a biostar h61mgv. I can't go overclock more than 3.5ghz, but I want to set it to 3.7ghz. If I raise the voltage, will that help? Thanks, sorry for the bad English.

No, the board for your CPU does not support overclocking. You can only increase it by 200 MHz using a Z77 board, and even then you would need a Z77 and a 3570K to achieve further improvements.
