My first overclock core 2 duo 2.3 ghz

[agentsmashing]

Hey everyone, I looked up some videos on how to overclock but didn't really feel comfortable after it came down to actually typing in the fsb numbers so I figured this would be the best place to go for help. I'll post my system specs below, basically I am trying to run the Final Fantasy XIV alpha which requires a 2.4 ghz dual core processor, I'd love to get up to 2.8 or even 3 ghz with the one I currently have. Please let me know what I need to do and thanks in advance!

That nVidia nForce 650i chip set does not overclock well.

First you need to read this form HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.1

Also you need a High-performance heatsink fan.

You also might need a new motherboard.
