Overclocking Voltage

I recently built a new PC with an i5 4690K and plan to overclock it to give me more gaming performance.

The motherboard for it is an MSI Z97S Sli Krait Edition.

Corsair CX500 500 watt psu.

 

How much voltage should I use for 4.2ghz, or 4.6 ghz.

 

thanks.

Depends on your EXACT CPU, some need more some less and depends on the cooler

 

I would not be higher than 1.35v

What will happen if I put the voltage too low?
