What's a BIG overclock?

DannyDem

So I've been playing around with overclocking and such and I'm wondering what's considered a big overclock when it comes core clock and memory clock?

 

Btw some optional questions a bit apart from the main question:

 

1º What % should the power limit be when you're overclocking?

2º Am I safe overclocking with the setup I have (it's in the sig)

 

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm more focusing on GPU OC's

I have my 6700K at 4.8 GHz, but I could probably push to 4.9 GHz if I really wanted to.
