I'm sorry but what board is it? I see listed on the MSI site the K9N6PGM-F and the K9N6SGM-V. All of the K9N6xxx boards that I've looked at don't seem to support any overclocking so you may be out of luck.

Until we know for sure, try reading our 6-part guidebook on Athlon overclocking. Most of the theory will apply to your system: http://icrontic.com/articles/overclocking_on_754939_platform

Is this a pre-built system aka like a Dell? If not what kind of cooling do you have?
