OC help for new FSX rig

[Dragon Fire]

Hello Everyone,

Please help,I would like some overclocking tips for my new rig.This is my first custom rig and the build took me about 5 hrs including OS installation. I built this rig specifically for FSX and here are the specs

630W Raidmax modular PSU w 120mm fan
AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+ (3.0ghz)w stock cooling
ECS GF8200A Mobo
GSKILL DDR2 800(2x2 gigs)
250gig Seagate HD 3.0 transfer,32mb cache
PNY 8800GT 600mhz core,1800mhz Mem
LiteON DVD
Aerocool Aero Engine 2 Case w 1-180mm side fan,1-140mm front intake,1-120mm rear exhaust
Vista Home Premium 32-bit w sp1
FSX + FSX Acceleration(Sp1&2)

Since FSX is mainly a cpu and mem hog, I would like to push this rig as far as I can without overheating any components or causing system instability. I have checked out some reviews on this mobo and I don't know a thing about mobo or cpu overclocking . I've only used Riva Tuner in the past for a 7800GS I had on my P4 3.0 system).
Currently my fps on FSX is locked solid at 23-25 frames and drops to about 8-12 at busy airports with traffic at about 40%. I've also been told that more CPU power should get rid of the micro stutters and hesitation while turning during flight.


Please help

Here is an A64 OCing guide. It is a bit old but everything it says still applies. The only thing I would suggest is using OCCT instead of Prime95 or SuperPi.
