The theory is pretty simple. There are 2 ways to increase speed. Bus speed, or multiplier. Speed= bus x multiplier.
Increased Voltage increase stability allowing higher speeds.
Heat increase proportionally with speed. But exponentially with Voltage and speed together. So cooling becomes important early on.
In practice things are usually not as good as theory predicts.
You need to know if that MB allows control of BCLK, or multiplier in the BIOS. If not the unlocked CPU means nothing. ( there is a software way around this)

Unlocked multiplier overclocking is the simplest because memory speed and timing aren't effected.
Basically raise speed...

Basically raise speed, check cooling/ stability, add Voltage, raise speed, check cooling/ stability. Add cooling raise speed/Voltage ,check cooling/ stability. At some point you'll reach a limit of either CPU, MB power, or cooling. Your temperature readings will be meaningless unless you're running some type of load/stability test at the same time.
