Don't go totally nuts with the voltage. Be reasonable. Actually, don't touch the voltage at all and see how high you can get. If you can't get higher then start increasing in 0.02v intervals, and don't go over 0.15v on anything.

2) The Ram i get is 6 GB Dorminator 1600 CL8,but i noticed the frequency showing is 1000+- before i overclocked the CPU, now is 1200+ after overlocked the CPU. If i am not mistaken, i think i suppose to overclock the Ram to be 1600MHZ?
There's a thing called RAM ratio... and that's what you should look into to get it higher.

3) My current CPU temp is around 48c-50c as reported by the Gigabye utiliy, but in the bios it usually showing 51c-53c. Let's say it is 53c, will it be considered high temp? (I will overclock the CPU to 3.4G instead of 3.2 if possible, so i guess the temp will increase again)
That's a dangerous range!!! Consider stopping, or lowering your frequencies because those temperatures are just too high for comfort especially if the CPU is not doing anything.

Do NOT attempt to stress the CPU when you are in that range, because you are more than likely going to overheat something.

4) Lastly, is it recommended to overclock Graphic card?
Nope. The gain is minimal in most cases. You probably won't even notice it and the extra heat is not something to play with.
