I wouldn't OC it on stock. What are you idle and load temps? If your idle is under 40, you maybe be able to squeeze it up to 3.6-3.7 area. Make sure you know what your doing though, and have the money to pay for a new one if it is ruined.

If you OC on stock voltage your temps will not [...shouldn't] change that much. So a super-mild (and useless) OC of 200MHz will most likely do nothing in either the temp or speed. |

what software are you using for measuring your cpu temp?

It seems that overclocking a Pentium D would be pretty hard, though, as they run pretty hot. Unless you got a good cooling system or something.
