I'm thinking about overclocking my CPU eventually in the future. I have just a stock cpu fan and my cpu is i3 2120 at 3.3 GHz stock and I want to boost it up to possible 3.9GHz. Will my cpu overheat if I keep the stock cpu fan and overclock it? And if it overheats can it be a huge problem for my computer?
You aren't going to get much in the way of overclocking with a non K sandy bridge CPU. You might get a 100-200mhz or so, but that is pretty much it. You won't be getting anywhere near 3.9ghz

My motherboard software where I can overclock says I can go up there, but you can be right still.

Depends a lot on the mobo and RAM. Ive never heard of anyone getting one of those CPUs even near that high. You can even look at the proffesional reviews from various sites, even then they only get the 2120 to around 3.5ghz.

i think the highest ive ever heard of any cpu on air getting using core clock only has been .4ghz faster than stock

My 950 is at 4.0 GHz :D is it burned to the board though?

core i7 gen 1's had real issues with that
Sorry, this is one of those times when my english fails me. I didn't understand what you said :P
Temps are around 70-75 °C. It's at 173 x 23 right now.
