how much further I could go without thermal throttling

The only way to find out to do it till it crashes!

ehh just change the overclock after it crashes.

increase clock as much as you can until it crashes, then increase voltage a little. Then with the slightly higher voltage try the oc again and if it works see if you can go higher with the clock speed. If it crashes either go back down or increase voltage again. just don't let voltage or temps go too high.

You find the limits of an overclock by bumping the frequency up, stability testing until it crashes or BSoD's, and then either bumping the voltage up or lowering the frequency back down. Crashing is a necessary part of the process of finding stable settings.

 

What is unsafe is pushing the voltage up beyond a certain threshold that is generally recognized as being safe (I don't know what that is for Ryzen, it's usually around 1.4 V for Intel CPUs), or by letting it run for extended periods of time at unsafe temperatures.

What are your temperatures under load?

At 4.0 using AIDA64 stress test for about 4 minutes my temps were at about 85C with the stock cooler, now I've dialled it back to 3.9 and was able to run AIDA 64 for 10 minutes and only hit a max of 74
