I am overclocking my fx 4300 on an Asus M5A97 r2.0

For cooling I have a Freezer 13

 

I was wondering what voltage I should go with to overclock, and how do you tell when one reaches the limits.

I have managed to get 4.5Ghz at stock voltage 100% stable, and at only 50 degrees Celsius (122F)

1.45v is the highest I would go, but I would try to keep it at 1.375-1.4v.

I would not go higher than 1.45V for 24/7.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
