I have an Intel quad core Q8200 running at 2.33GHz with temperatures around 60°C to 54°C using the stock cooler. I plan to increase its speed and the cooler's temperature. My goal is to push the CPU to 3.30GHz, but I'm worried about overheating, so I also want to boost the stock cooler. I’m unsure how to do this properly.

Proceed only after ensuring it is properly installed.

Don't try to speed up a cooler by overclocking, just get a better one and install it properly.
