Here are 2 sources that indicate that your PSU is low quality and not up to the task of OC'ing:

So, do so at your own risk.

Since you have a Black Edition processor, it has an unlocked multiplier. In BIOS, disable turbo mode and increase the CPU clock multiplier one click at a time. Save and boot to Win. Run a stress test like prime95 or intel burn test while watching that temps don't consistently stay above 62C. If all is well, repeat.
Eventually, you will have an unstable OC (assuming temps allow). At that point you can probably gain a bit more by gently...
