That's the AM2 version, is there going to be a big difference if mine is a socket 939?

Not for overclocking (I checked both versions and, what differs in yours is that you have printer port and the version of the on-board LAN and sound chip are different)
Even if not were your motherboard, the rules to play are the same for everyone. Follow the steps you can find in every guide of overclocking:

- Basics
Hardware: to have a solid mainboard an a ROCKsolid PSU)
Software: for testing stability http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=117636 ->please read the whole thread to have wich version is easier/better for you and how to use it
- Find the max stable FSB [HyperTransport in your case] value
- Find the max stable mem value
- Find the max stable CPU value
- Finally adjust the parameters to most optimal for stability or whatever you want to use your OC'ed rig for.

good luck
