I was planning to increase the clock speed of a 5350 processor, but I couldn't locate suitable cooling solutions. I've noticed others have successfully overclocked this chip, though their configurations may differ. Would you like some suggestions?

Most heatsinks paired with fans can effectively manage an AM1 CPU, even when overclocked or overvolted. Since there are no unlocked multiplier AM1 CPUs, you'll likely need to increase the base clock to OC. Be ready to switch to IDE mode and use a dedicated GPU as well.
