You definitely could attempt to Overclock the CPU but not unless you replace the stock cooler on it. There are a few options ranging from $20-$150. Depending on your goals there are a couple other upgrades that you could try. If you are going for pure gaming then Overclocking the GPU is your best bet to crank a few extra fps out of it. If you want to get better overall speed I'd recommend an SSD for the OS and the main programs. They are not overly expensive and you can get a 120GB for around $60. More RAM will most likely not help you any. Let me know your Goals and your price range for the upgrade and I may be able to help you more.

You're welcome. And 43C isn't terrible at 4.4GhZ. Just to be sure that the OC is stable you should run Prime95 on the blended setting for a while and if it passes post your max temp please. If your computer crashes just boot back into the bios and lower the Clock speed and increase the voltage until it is stable there are some great tutorials out there on how to do this properly and you have to be very careful especially when increasing the Voltage.
