Can I safely OC my CPU ? How much Can I increase without buying additional coolers ?

every cpu is different trial and error.
Google search "overclocking" research before you try 11-19-2009, 01:57 AM
You can easily go for 3.3 or 3.5 Ghz ^^

A wolfsdale pentium D and your asking if you can overclock? *begins laughing histerically*. With sufficient cooling and a good mobo you should be able to hit 3.75 GHz on good air and 4.5 GHz on liquid. But it depends on the cpu and also I would never recommend OCing at all on stock cooling.

you can get to 3.63GHz on the stock cooler ^_^, that's as far as mine can go (same cpu

*has sudden urge to smack this noob across the face*
Yes Luis did your performance get any better from a 45% INCREASE IN CLOCK RATE! (sorry if that sounded mean)
