Overclocking Advice

I am going to try and overclock my FX 4100 soon. I'm using a lower end MSI 970 motherboard. My first question is: What are the settings that I most definitely need to change (disable things like spread spectum, C1E, etc.). Also, if anyone is using an fx 4100 on a 970 chipset, what were you able to get?

Thanks to anyone that can help. 

FX 4100 @ 4200, MSI GTX 660, CX430, 1TB Barracuda, 320gb Spinpoint, Hyper 212,  MSI 970, 500R, 8GB RAM
