How far you can go will depend on your temps. I stay below 80' in Prime 26.6 custom 1344 and Realbench. As for voltage, again I'm staying below 1.35. This will change if I decide to delid.

Sorry, only just saw this.

Plenty of different guides on YouTube but for a simple OC, up the volts using manual and then multiplier.

Find out what your 'stock' voltage is first, plumb that into your manual voltage and start to up the multi. For example, my stock v is 1.12, I was able to do 4.7Ghz n all cores with that.
