Overclocking is basically trial and error of trying to get more performance. It can take a long time to reach a stable clock speed that you are happy with. As long as you keep within certain limitations, depending on the setup you should be fine!

I recommend getting Realtemp and Prime95, these can be useful to make sure your overclock is decent. The first records the temperature of the CPU. I would try and stay under 65C when under load. Prime95 is a useful tool which stresses the cpu, and can be used to test an overclock is stable. If it isn't, then some settings may need to be adjusted or you have reached a wall with your setup.

This guide is helpful to learn how to overclock your cpu, and goes into quite a lot of detail:
