How to properly overclock a CPU?

Hello,

As you know overclocking is pushing the CPU to run at faster clock speed provided by the manufacturers. For Intel core 2 Duo you can overclock the CPU simply by raising the Front Side Bus(FSB). For Pentium 4 you can overclock it by raising the Front Side Bus (FSB) until either processor limit or thermal limits.
You also can try setting the FSB from 100 MHz/200 MHz to 133 MHz/ 266 MHz.
