Take a hammer and beat the shit out of the printer. Then turn to the computer and in a firm voice. Explain to it that it has only one choice get faster or get what the printer just got.... works every time

You won't notice any difference when you're just slightly overclocking a CPU. When you're actually overclocking a CPU to gain more performance, you'll need a high-end CPU heatsink to cool it.

That's not entirely true. With a lot of the Core 2 Duo/Quad chips you should be able to get a decent overclock (500mhz-1ghz) with the stock cooler. It'll depend on the overall airflow within your case, and the exact chip, but it's very possible.
