I don't recommend overclocking on that motherboard because it will kill the voltage regulators. Maybe you will be able to squeeze a little bit more speed from your CPU if you enable Intel Xtreme Memory Profile on you RAM and that usualy boosts the CPU's frequency @ 3800MHz by Turbo Core Technology. That's it, get a proper motherboard if you realy want to overclock. Also, you'll need a very good ventilated case in order to keep the entire system cool when you are overclocking. And a final thought, never get a Green version of an HDD again, they are the slowest possible and affect your system performance.
