I have a pentium e5400 and I've been having trouble overclocking it above 3.3 ghz, and I've heard of people OCing it to 3.5 or 3.6. in my bios, all i changed was the cpu frequency to 240 (everytime i try anything above this, my computer shuts down). are there any other settings that i need to change to get better results? also, i'm using the stock fan on my cpu, is this what is holding me back?

First problem is the motherboard and G31 chipset. Its not known for the best overclocking......P45 boards chipset boards tend to be the best overclockers.
You FOR SURE need aftermarket cooling and a well ventilated case.

All chips are different yours may or may not overclock as well as an identical one on an identical setup.
