I've got a Core 2 Duo E4400 @ stock 2.0Ghz and i wan't to get it a bit higher, core temps are 33-35*C idle and 42-44*C at max on full load.

My motherboard is an ASUS P5S-MX SE, not a great motherboard for overclocking i know, but i can do atleast some.

I have only 1GB of 667MHz RAM as one of the sticks was faulty from day one

Here are the questions:
1) What do i need to make higher and make lower in the BIOS to overclock correctly? I am completely new to overclocking CPUs and don't want it to go wrong..

2) How much should i increase it by each time and what should i increase?

3) What temperature is the max i should get it to on full load?
