Since BIOS based overclocking is unavailable to you, software based is the only other viable option. Unfortunately software based overclocking is NOT generally recommended as it is inherently a lot more unstable.

Add the fact that you've most likely only have a stock CPU cooler, which is not suited for any overclocking.

If you're serious about overclocking, you're going to have spend a little money. You'd need a new mobo with an unlocked BIOS and a CPU cooler. At the very least, you need the cooler. Without a cooler, you'll end up cooking the chip.
