I was reading reviews about the core 2 duo e6400 2.13 Ghz processor and a guy was saying that he overclocked the processor from 2.13 to 3.46Ghz. Some other person said that he overclocked to 3.33GHz. How do you overclock this processor?And how do you know if you oc'ed to 3.33 or 3.46 or etc.?Is overclocking makes a big difference?Can a motherboard have an impact on overlocking?

You over-clock a processor in the BIOS of your system board. Your memory will need to be the correct speed as well as the bus-speed of the system board. Basically, lots of factors come into play for over-clocking a CPU. Read the user manual of your system board before you over-clock your CPU. The manufacturer of the system board may not support over-clocking your CPU.
OVER-CLOCKING YOUR CPU IS A BAD IDEA. YOU ARE RUNNING THE RISK OF DAMAGING OR DESTROYING ANY PART OR ALL PARTS OF YOUR COMPUTER.

the mother board is in control of the processor so it can make it run faster than it was originally designed to. but if you do not have adequate cooling or don't know what your doing you will melt your processor chip.

is the risk worth it. You might have burnt your motherboard by overclocking (more heat dissipated than designed)
