I recently just finished my first pc build and was looking at overclocking my cpu. I'm not really sure what a good starting point would be though. My specs are....

Amd Fx 8350 4.00ghz 4.20turbo
Msi 970 gaming x mobo
Msi gtx 1060 6gb gpu
Kingston HyperX FURY 8gb (2x4gb kit)

I tried using the overclock setting in the MSI gaming app with the oc genie in the bios but that cause my voltage to hang out around 1.46 while only hitting the 4.20ghz turbo speed on the cpu. I read that with oc genie it's best to experiment and see what you can get out of it. I just dont want to do anything that could potentially damage my components.
