Overclock FX-8320

I feel like I could overclock my CPU easily to get the most out of my computer. I looked up online but I feel like my temps are too high to overclock, at around 45 degrees (celsius) idle. 

My current setup is:

CPU- AMD FX 8320 3.5 GHz 8-core processor

CPU COOLER- unknown 

MOTHERBOARD- MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition

RAM- 12 GB DDR3

GPU- AMD Radeon R9 380

CASE- AeroCool V3X Advance USB 3.0 Green Edition

PSU- unknown

 

For the things marked as "unknown" I have no clue what brand/model they are. The RAM was recycled from a previous PC I owned, but the PSU is new, as well as the CPU COOLER (only thing I know is that it is not the stock cooler)

If any of the information for the PSU and cooler is needed, I can get it as long as I know how.

Idle temps don't matter too much, what are the load temps with something like prime 95 running?

 

What cooler? Picture?

 

Normally just turn up the multipler until its unstable. I wouldn't touch voltage until you know the cooler.

4+1 phase VRM with Niko-Semi fets, not going to happen on that board. Be happy if it remains stable under stock.
