Overclocking E7300, new to OC

Forum Overclocking : CPUs Overclocking E7300, new to OC

Word :    Username :           
 

I'm new to overclocking, I've never done it in my life.
I need help overclocking my Intel Core 2 Duo E7300.
I know this CPU is old, and I'm planning to buy a new gaming rig for myself soon.
In the meantime, I'd like to OC my current CPU to increase performance, as my PC randomly crashes while playing Battlefield 3.
I have read some guides to overclocking, but I don't know whether it'll help me since my CPU is so old.
I'm also worried about my temperature, is 35-40°C normal while more or less idle?
