Read these:
This should be your first stop.
Core2 Overclocking Guide
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/259899-11-core-overclocking-guide

Next stop should be a guide for your particular motherboard. Google is your friend.

If you have a Gigabyte motherboard, this is great:
Shadow's Gigabyte motherboard OC guide:

It's for an EP35-DS3L but all the Gigabyte Core2 BIOS's are similar.

Read those and come back with your system specifications. The motherboard and memory that you are using is very important. There are about 3 very different, basic schemes for overclocking depending on your motherboard.
