thanks BrokenHalo83. i just downloaded the software and im running it now. any advice on how to proceed. as i understand it OC is done with small adjustments right? then i should test to see if my system is stable. then go and make another small adjustment.

Yep, raise it up a few MHz and test for stability. If it is stable, raise it up a little more.
