ts, oc'ing is really something you should learn by yourself.
i'm new to ocing too.

if you're really afraid of burning your system, do it like i did;
-increase fsb slowly, preferably 10 Mhz a step and boot your pc each time you change it.
-run prime95 for at least 3 hours to ensure stability
-if stable, continue above steps until you experience a crash in your torture test or any problems of booting to os or even post
-then try to increase your voltage slowly too, preferably 0.005v a step and try to boot until you reach stability.
-continue until you reach an immovable wall to your oc. (meaning even if you increase voltage to dangerous settings, the board won't even boot)
-or till your desired oc speed.

i'm currently ocing my phenom ii x2 like that.
but i only increase the multiplier instead of HT though.
and each time i run torture test, i let it run overnight till i wake up next morning.
have reached 3.4GHz with both cores unlock at stock voltage.

and continuing to push further.

p.s. clear CMOS if you can't post.
