It's supposed to run at 3GHz. But he forced it to run at 4GHz, that's called over-clocking.

How is it forced to run at 4.0ghz. Is there some kind of software or CPU optimizer that helps in doing that overclocking ? Or it is the speciality of E8400?

Basically you are boosting the clock speed, making it run faster than its official clock speed.

Some motherboard BIOS allow you to change the clock speed settings. You need to know what you are doing though...
