Where to get a good fan for a decent price to overclock

FSB stands for Front Side Bus and for all intensive purposes it is the link between the cpu and the motherboard. When you overclock you increase the FSB speed (eg Pentium III 800E default = 8x multiplier multiplied by 100MHz FSB = 800MHz => 8x x 133 = 1064)
To overclock your FSB, you need to go into your BIOS/System setup (Usually your PC will say when it boots Press [Del] to enter setup), so do what it says. Then look for a "Manual CPU adjustment," "FSB Adjustment," or "CPU SoftMenu." Then adjust the FSB and voltage from there.
Increase the FSB until the system is unstable, then turn it back a notch... if it is only just unstable, increase the voltage some.
And there's Chris's crash course in overclocking - hope it helps.
 
what do you mean by unstable. Descibe a scenario. Like smoke comes out or screen flickers. How much do you think i can incease it
 
it should be anough to allow proper cooling. You can do the pencil trick on you CPU. Just connect the L1 bridges and make sure the remain parrallel to eacj other. Do not let them cross each other or it wont work. Then when that is done replace HSF and go into bios and adjust the Multiplier of the CPU. Also bump up voltage has needed to make it stable. No you will et get a fire or smoke. Just do it in small steps, lets say 850,900,950,1000, etc. Once you can no longer go any higher with voltage and multiplier, then I would suggest you step it down one to allow for a margin. You will know when the system is not stable at a certain speed cause it will lock up and give you other various errors.
