Well to give you some indication my P5K-E supports a FSB of 1333MHz, I am currently running it at 1860MHz. As Undercocker mentioned, thats why they call it over clocking

Yes it is possible to fry your CPU and some other stuff but if you keep it moderate and control temps you are generally fine.

The things you really need to tell us are your system spec's

PSU make, model
RAM, make , model
Cooling.

Your Ram and PSU are important when over clocking as the cheaper hardware is just not cut out to do the job. Also your CPU may not over clock well, some do some don't. It is the luck of the draw.

Your current loaded temp is too high at the moment anyway to consider over clocking.
You need to get your loaded temps way down in the high 30's low 40's before you consider an over clock

I use a swiftech water cooling kit and my loaded temps with near a 40% over clock don't go over 42C.
