with a good cooler you can get 25%+ oc on a PD...but they run really really hot, I wouldn't recommend, pushing that cpu on a stock cooler.
invest in the right equipment first, to protect your components from oc-ing damage.

Different batch of processors can reach different spead, under same condition and other hardwares.
One processor may overclock to say 3.8GHz, and another one of the same type may not even past 3.3Ghz
So overclocking is all about trial and error. Increase the frequency, test it with software to load your PC and monitor your temperature and also if it hangs or your program starts doing funny stuff such as winamp stop playing songs or so.
If everything is fine, increase it again. If it hangs, do slight increase in the vcore. Usually core voltage is the first thing that stops a chip from going higher. If its not, then the chip simply cant overclock.
But keep in mind increase of voltage is the main cause of huge increase in temperature, and its also the reason why overclocking requires fancy cooling such as water cooling.
I don't advise you to tweak with the voltage, because of you get it wrong, its going to kill your CPU.
Just experiment around with the frequency, don't worry if you're just increasing the frequency. Worst that can happen is the PC hang, that's all. It doesn't damage your CPU. (only over voltage does, so leave the voltage alone for now). Gain some experience first then get those fancy cooling if you're really into it.

Overclocking only gives you about 10% boost... sometimes less. Andyou run the risk of damaging your stuff.
It's not really worth it.
