Before we tell the procedure and softwares to Overclock.

you should clearly mention about your Hardware like Mobo, Ram , PSU, Videocard etc

I must be frank to you...

you won't find any improvement even 5% with your processor after Overclock. Also do you have Video card or using inbuilt? If it is inbuilt try to purchase Video card or upgrade to Better card for good gaming......

^^ I think he has 8400GS ;-)

@ OP - before thinking about OCing tell us what S_V has asked for and with all those you will also need a cabinet with good venilation and a cpu cooler.

Yes i have 8400 gs good for my resolution(1024X768) to play games
and my mobo is Intel 945GCR
2 gb DDR2 kingston ram
Now how to overvclock my cpu?

No, you can't overclock with Intel 945GCR afaik.

Time to build a new computer perhaps? A6-3500 + Gigabyte A55M-S2V + 4 GB 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM will cost only Rs. 9500.

Much faster processor than E2140 and much faster graphics than 8400 GS.

Intel 945GCR is a vanilla board so all options are disabled. Thus overclocking isn't possible.

The combo ico suggested is fantastic for a sub 15-20k system. Anybody making a purchase in that price bracket should highly consider this.

This is Hilarious... (Don't know I felt like that, when I saw that Sentence which is in BOLD)

Sorry to say man... you can't do Overclock like others said because of your Mobo. It's a basic Intel Board which doesn't allow you to change spec's.

Really sad to know my cpu cant be overclocked,if we think in a +ve way it will resist me from too much gaming and my academic result will be better. However,i will buy new pc around april(xams over)

try to match the clock generator of your mobo ( sometime you just need to locate it manully or do a google search for that ) with the setfsbs support list - if your's is listed you can try OCing ( do it at your own risk ) or else just wait a few more months for your upcoming new rig ;-)
