How much fps gain would I get if I overclock my CPU from 3.4Ghz to 4.0Ghz in game like harvest moon: animal parade and Mario Galaxy?

That question is impossible to accurately answer. Anyone who gives you an answer would have to just be pulling numbers out of their a**.

I dunno... Some?

I would assume 17.6%, this is from math and not OC experience...

I would assume much less than 17,6% ..

Uh, some?

3 fps.... maybe 4. But we don't know it for sure unless you try it.

EDIT: Don't fry your cpu in the process.

If you do OC please let us know how much.

Wow tht's so few.I OC my E5200 to 3.25 Ghz,and the fps increased by at least 10 !

Ok first of all going from 2,5 Ghz -> 3,25 Ghz is a 30% increase in clock while going from 3,4 Ghz -> 4 Ghz is about 18 % increase in clock. Secondly the amount of increased frames is proportional to the amount of your base frames. With a 30% increase in clock if a game run before at 20 fps it will probably run at 26, according to the increase in clock speed, giving you just 6 fps more. Meanwhile a game that run at 60 fps before, it will run at 78 fps giving you 18 fps more.
And finally an increase in clock doesn't give you a complete linear increase in speed due to the chip and pc architecture. Also your GPU might be the limiting factor due to your graphic settings and a CPU overclock might give you very few fps increase( fewer than you expect) or even no increase at all.

And thats pretty much it, i think i covered everything
