How do I change my voltages

hey guys,
I just overclocked my CPU from 3.00 to 3.17...I havent finished yet, I just need to know how to change my voltages to get a bit more stability before I try to go higher, this is the cooler im using in case you need to know http://www.pcshopper.com.au/product....cat=453&page=1. Is there a program that allows me to change me voltages.
cheers

Thanks for the reply, I was overclocking my CPU in BIOS, but my BIOS only has three options for Voltages Low, Auto, High. I moved it from Auto to High and now the CPU has stabilzed at 3.5ghz. I am happy because I have increased me speed by 500 mhz and kept the tempo below 50 C.

I just did a superPI stability test, it passed the 32m test (IE the highest). Does this indicate that it is a stable overclock? Also my CPU temp hasn't really change since before the overclock, do you think I can get overclock further?
cheers

you will want to download and run a program called prime95 and run it at least 6 hours; some recommend 12 hours to ensure stability. Your motherboard doesn't allow you to change the actual values? Also what are you using to check your temps?
