Overclocking is different depending basically on each motherboard. When youre booting does it say "pres del key or f2 to enter Bios" or something along those lines? To overclock you would need to enter your Bios while booting before youre into your os. (well you could use CCC but I wouldn't) and as for how much you can over clock. that is up to you, however much you want until your temps are a bit higher or until it wont let you.
