I doubt anybody here is going to tell you not to overclock, but we are going to tell you to do you research.

First off, get a baseline temp by running a stress test and monitoring your temps at stock speeds. That'll give you an idea of where you can go, if anywhere.
What's your ambient temperature in the room? What cooling setup do you have? What motherboard? What power supply?

In short, you increase your multiplier incrementally (probably having to disable sleep states and speed step) and stress-test. If you receive BSODs etc, increase your voltage slightly until you're stable through a stress test. Then increase the multi a little more, rinse & repeat until you hit either unsafe temps or instability with no additional...

Exactly 'how' (or even 'ifi') you do it will depend on a lot more than just the CPU you have.
The motherboard, cooler & even PSU play a good part too.
