    Running that up to 1000MHz shouldn't be too much hassle.
    The A7V you have... has it got jumper swithches near the top right of the mobo? If it has you move a jumper at the bottom of the mobo to set manual oc'ing and then change the multiplier with the top swithches.
    Main danger is heat - my Athlon used to run at 70C without overclocking
