If you've never OC'ed before, find a good OC guide online for that CPU. OC'ing those older chips that had no unlocked multiplier can get involved. Your board is OK for OC'ing, so if the PSU can handle it, you should be safe to continue. Here is an example.

Btw, check in BIOS to see if the previous OC'er had saved the OC settings to one of the available save locations (if that feature exits in your BIOS)
