This should help you get started:

Keep in mind not all CPU's overclock as well as others, so you may need to dial down the overclock or up the voltage if you PC crashes while testing it.

idle doesn't matter too much. you need to stress it. RealBench from Asus is a good stresser, as is the Adia64 stresser.

 

A question for the peanut gallery: should a guy concern himself with individual core temps, or package temps? i've focused more on the latter but i see there are some instances of a over-temp log on individual cores while performing stress testing.

Be concerned with all of them: if any part of my CPU is going above 90 when I'm stress testing (my own personal limit, everyone is comfortable with different temps), I tone down the voltage.

I overclocked my i5 4690 k at 4.48 GHz (102 x 44) with voltage 1.248 and ram at 1899.5 MHz using Cooler master hyper 212x cpu cooler is it safe. I can go faster or have to reduce the voltage?

What is your temperature on the CPU at full load? You need to be testing the temperatures any time there's an adjustment being made where energy consumption is increasing, particularly on the voltage side.
