Read some guides, there are plenty of good ones out there! 

 

Also, welcome to the forums

 

EDIT; if you could find what model of athlon exactly you have then you could look up a guide for a similar architecture. (maybe this will help)

First definitely get an aftermarket cooler. 

Second .. 
 

In a Google search you get some decent information but I didn't find anything I would call a guide.  If I found a guide I would have posted it here.  GL OP!

Google search "Overclocking guide Athlon x2"

Should bring up RELATIVE results.

If you typed "Overclocking guides" you'd get so many different types of CPU/Motherboard generations, which ARE different in how they can be overclocked.

Some CPU's require a certain way compared to others.

This is why you read specific guides for the CPU series you have and what socket it uses.

 

 

/If you using a stock cooler, you'll not get far at all, and would be pointless in that respect. Sorry to say.

Please get an aftermarket cooler, stock cooler won't be able to cool your CPU when overclocked. Secondly, please overclock from the BIOS manually! There is a feature in some motherboard like OC Genie but overclocking manually is better. Lastly, read the manual, read the OC part or you can see video guides about overclocking.

What is the exact model of your CPU?
