The motherboard might come with a driver or program to do just that, or you will have to go into the BIOS, pressing DEL while the computer is booting up, and then fiddling around with settings. A higher voltage will give you more stability when overclocking. (But don't put it too high!)

This link might help explain it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

What? 970? 980X costs only "a few" more considering 970's price.

You could instead get the cheaper P6X58D Premium which is also a top end MB and put the money saved towards a 980X.
