I'm going to overclock my 4930k, I have a few questions

How should I test out the suitable voltage for my clock speed?

What is the safe temperature?

Should I give it a extremely low voltage and increase it slightly and the other way round?

What should I see running prime 95 if it's a stable oc?

I'm able to oc at 4.2 ghz 1.22v,

Thanks

Cooler h100i

CPU i7 4930k

Mb asus p9x79

if your pc crashes under load after you have upped the clock speed it is unstable and you might need a higher voltage.  the goal is to run the lowest possible voltage however, so dont increase voltage unless you need to. increase voltage as needed a little bit at a time.   i would be comfortable with 70c or below at load.
