so i just overclocked my fx6300 cpu to 4.3ghz by following a tutorial on youtube and it is working quite well for me but i wznt to reach 4.7ghz because i think its possible and why not.. so now i have cpu voltage of 1.4V and north bridge voltage of 1.23125V and my question is how much voltage should i try for the 4.7ghz because i dont understand how thins even works :( ?

The max suggested safe voltage for that CPU is ~1.45v. Personally, I think 1.5v will be OK if you leave it auto adjust voltage. Most of the time it will be below that anyway. I have always taken my AMD processors to 1.5v with no issues. But keep in mind... the higher the voltage, the shorter the lifespan of the CPU.

The NB voltage will vary. There are 2 NBs. The one on the CPU and the chipset. I presume you mean the one on the CPU. I wouldn't go any higher than 1.15v myself.

so the north bridge voltage is not that important only the cpuVcore voltage is all that matters, but how do i know if my cpu still needs more voltage when i try to overclock it to 4.7

If you mean vcore, you'll know by the OC not being stable. But keep in mind, the quality of the MB will make a difference too. And taking a 3.5GHz CPU to 4.7GHz is not always practical. What board and what PSU are you using. If the PSU has poor quality output to begin with, that will be a weak link.
