Can't overclock my processor

It would help us if you told us about your computer (custom made? manufacturer pre-made?) as well as the motherboard you have. Most pre-built computers are unable to be overclocked because of a custom mobo and other crap (My Dell XPS is an example of that...)
Umm... i wouldn't do anything else. You need to make sure you run a temperature monitor on your stuff and stress the setup, as it may over heat.
I suggest you don't even try to overclock, as the PC is premade, it will have a crappy stock CPU cooler. And they don't cool very well when OCing.
Have you ran a scan on the graphics card for artifacts and tested the temps?

Well...
1-I's like that for almost an year and I never had problems.
2-I didn't make a big over-clock (mygraphics card is crappy, Ij ust gotta accept that T_T)
3-The air coming from the fans isn't really hot, just normal :/
4-I check the temps with a program once in a while just to see how things are and ....well, yeah

That doesn't mean anything... if you don't know how to properly stress test your hardware after a overclock and monitor the temps with a temp monitor such as Core Temp, then I HIGHLY suggest you don't do anything.
Core Temp for monitoring your temps: Core Temp
Prime95 for stressing your CPU to make sure it doesn't get to hot or above the recommended TOP TEMP:

Look on intels site for the stats on your CPU and stuff.

Don't even think of overclocking on that 865 mobo. I doubt the settings are even present in the BIOS anyway. Your overclock WILL be unstable, resulting in silent data corruption.
