I read the FAQ's, still a bit confused!

My setup is:

Corsair A50 High-Performance CPU Cooler
BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P9 750W Modular Power Supply
AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5

I ran the AMD auto tune and it got to 3.5ghz on the processor fine with temp <50c under 100% load, so I went to bios and increased the multiplier so it is now 3.5ghz.

What's a good safe temp? Core temp says the max is 71c, I'm happy with anything under say 55c.

Do I need to adjust the voltage?

Also what other parts of the system can I tune up?
 
Is over clocking to 4ghz OK as long as temp is under 60c? I've seen other people do it. Is temp the only thing I need to worry about in regards to permament damage?
