his specs:

intel e5700 @3.0ghz
gigabtye g41 s2p
4gb ddr3 ram
windows 7

Set volt to auto and raise fsb.
Run stress tester like intel burn test or orthos to at least 8 hours for stability.
if not stable then overclocking can wait for your friend to buy a cooler and if stable
buy a cooler also then
Since its a small mobo either buy a CM txt3 evo or a closed loop liquid cooler

Ok thanks you both.i have question i heard before that there is technique in which we have to make small u shaped pin and place to socket of cpu.this make pc to fool to think that fsb is 1333mhz instead 800mhz.what is that method?
