E6420 overclock

OK I'm brand new to the whole overclocking thing but I have a question. I'm running a E6420 on a P5N32-e SLI Plus MB. Stock cooling in a Antec gamer 900 case. The way I overclocked the CPU was to go into the section where you set you FSB mhz and increased it a little at a time. As for the Vcore I let the MB auto set that. 1.39 I believe. It only allows you to set the speed of the FSB not the CPU host Frequency. Is it oK that I'm turning up the FSB. It's set at 1233mhz right now. I would like to go as high as possible on stock cooling. Any help would be great.

Just want to do this properly
 
Hmm, My E6300 is at 1350 with small voltage increase *like 1/8 of a volt* and it has no problems. I havent pushed it very hard, but I probably will upgrade my cooler.

Oh, yea, I forgot to mention that I have air cooling and idle for my processor is like <30.
 
I had it up to 1333mhz but noticed my CPU usage was constantly 50% so I turned it back down. Not sure if that's normal. Using orthos I was at 52 degrees after 5 minutes or so. Just need to know if I'm doing it correctly.
