Let us know your overclocking results using air based cooling, stating the processor, it's original speed, it's overclocked speed, multipliers and FSB, cooling fan and temperature, thanks!

Processor: Intel Celeron
Original speed: 3.06ghz
Oc'ed speed: 3.11ghz
Multiplier: 23x
FSB: Can't remember
HS/F: 'Startech FAN775'
Tempuratures: CPU 35-40*c, System 25-35*c
I can't get anywhere with my celeron... I'm getting a Core 2 soon luckily.

I used to have a Celeron processor and I overclocked preetty well with that. It was 2.4GHz and managed to get 3.2GHz on stock HSF and stock voltages. With the temperature peaking at 50 degrees.
I now own a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and I have managed to get it to 3.6GHz though not stable. I run it at stock speeds at the moment as it is more than quick enough for my needs.

I think my mobo is a bit rubbish in terms of overclocking, but I'm not sure. I can't overclock the cpu by 100mhz without it becoming unstable. I can get it to go about 35mhz more though.

Ok,
I know quite a bit about hardware but not overclocking.
How would I know if i could do it on my PC?

Well there is normally options embedded in your BIOS that enable you to change the FSB (The external clock speed of the CPU) the multiplier, voltage and other things. For example if you go into your BIOS and you see and overclocking menu, or something that involves the FSB, multipliers and voltages then it is possible to overclock. A CPU works by using it's external clock, say it is 200MHz, and then uses the multiplier, say 12x to give you your internal clock speed, which would be 2.2GHz. Increasing the FSB slightly will overclock your processor. Say you now change the FSB to 210MHz, and with the multiplier being 12x, your overclocked speed will now be 2.5GHz. Warning when overclocking though. When overclocking your CPU will generate more heat and it is possible to damage components so read "How To's" on the internet and make sure you have sufficient cooling in your system. Also don't be stupid and overclock by large increments at a time, for example changing your external clock speed by 50MHz at a time will more than likely damage your CPU. Change the FSB in about 3-5MHz increments to decrease the chance of damaging your CPU. Also use programs such as Orthos or PRIME95 to test the stability of your system once overclocked.

Ok thanks.
Iv got alot of case cooling and the inside of my pc is usually about 17c

Thats great. There is plenty of scope where overclocking is involved with temperatures like that. But still be careful as you don't want to damage your components by over-volting or turning your FSB too high.

Do you mean long term, stable overclock?
I used to have an MSI mobo with an amd xp2000+ 1.667 ghz that used to run at 2.2ghz day in and day out without a problem. I then used an MSI program called fuzzy logic that got it running at 3.2ghz but it only lasted an hour like that.

I wrote a guide on OC'ing yesterday, it took me about an hour and it's here http://thecomputerforumz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=438
