Look at your mobo manual to see what if any jumper settings it has. If it is jumperless and there is no way to change the multiplier or clock in the bios then you can't overclock it.

If there are jumper settings on your mobo then just play with them. If its at x3 take the multiplier to x3.5 use a gradual climb if your comp locks up or doesn't boot you know its not stable at that speed.
