These days overclocking is on training wheels. The hardware has safeguards in place to keep you from frying it. (Unless you choose to manually set the voltage, which isnt necessary for average overclocks these days.)
These are the general steps with any manufacturer software
- Increase the stock power and temp limit sliders to the max (they are capped to keep it safe)
- Increase Core clock by 20Mhz at a time (50Mhz if you've got the balls)
- Run GPU benchmark of your choice
- Repeat Steps 2 & 3 until instability is apparent
- Set Core stock, Increase Memory clock by 50Mhz at a time (100Mhz if you've got the balls)
- Run GPU benchmark of your choice
- Repeat Steps 5 & 6 until instability is apparent
- Increase Core and Memory clocks to 80% of last stable, then increment them each slowly
- Repeat Step 8 until instability is apparent
- ???
- Profit!!!!

That doesn't sound hard at all. Good to know the card prevents you from destroying it, otherwise I would be afraid to attempt it.
