It really depends on your chip and your cooling capability. Sweet spot for me is 4.7GHz... that gives me temps at 80C in prime95, 60s in games... nice and stable. Everyone's chip will be different. 95% of them hit 4.4GHz without getting near temp issues though. So that seems to be the easy OC to work with.
