AMD NooB OC'ing question (Please)

I just built my first ever AMD system and I have an Asus A8N32-SLI and an FX-60 cpu. I knew how to overclock my Intel systems, but I don't have a clue what to do on my new AMD system. Since the FX-60 is unlocked, do I just up the multiplier a little at a time until it's stable and up the cpu voltage a little, or is there a lot more involved? I'm just air cooling (Zalman 9500) so I'm not trying to break any records or anything. Just a nice stable reasonable boost would be cool. Thanks very much for any responses.

The easiest way to oc the FX60 is exactly as you described. Once you find your range just with multi and volt manipulation, you'll want to fine-tune it with HTT increases.

For that, read the stickies. They tell you everything you need to know.
