Help Overclocking Clarkdale i5

[AgentTran]

I have an i5 650 at 3.2GHz, and it technically is only a little bit worse than an Ivy Bridge i3. Why I say technically is because people have said that these chips overclock great, but the problem is I've never looking into overclocking, and the farthest I've gone is "Intel Turbo Boost" and overclocking my GPU in Afterburner.

I don't have a stock CPU cooler, but essentially I don't know what cooler it is. It does perform pretty bad though, low usage I'm getting 37 degrees celsius.

This processor came with my Gateway DX4840-15c, and I've paired it with a 750TI SC.
It stutters when multitasking, and throttles in games.

Any tips guys?

Nice article. Agent I have similar setup, but with a i3 540. I found a new i7 920 on Amazon for $105 and replaced the HD with a 240GB SSD for $90. I expect to get another 3 years use.
