If you don't have an i5 that is a "K" version overclocking is a no go.

Well you should be able to get quite a nice overclock as long as you watch the temperatures you are seeing at load. I would say a 1G overclock should be pretty easy, so 4.4G should be able to be reached pretty safe.

You do not want the processor to run over 75C at full load for long. This could cause damage if it is running there for long periods of time. The best advice I can give you for overclocking is to read the overclocking guide here on Tom's.
