so ive been using the regular OC engine that MSI has built in, and Ive seen that people recommended not using it and making your own adjustments, so that's exactly what I did. I bumped up the CPU Ratio to 22.5 and increased the CPU Voltage by 0.025000v and NB Voltage by 0.01500v. Giving me a 4.5 GHz, Im asking if i should lower this to 4.4 or 4.3 or just stick to the OC engine at 4.2.
Thanks in advance!

Specs:
Cpu: AMD 6350 FX
Cooler: H100i GTX
Mobo: MSI 990FXA Gaming
Gpu: Evga 750 Ti Sc
Ram: 2x8 gb 1600mhz
Storage: 960 gb PNY SSD cs1311
Psu: Evga SuperNOVA 850w

Do you see a difference between 4.2 and 4.5?

I run my 6350 at 4.23 on an Asus 990FX Sabertooth v1 (2011). I use a Zalman 92mm copper cooler and stay at or very near, +/- 3 degrees of 60C with that. I allowed the BIOS to auto-overclock. This is nearly 4 years at that speed and never an issue. At current prices, if you burn up your CPU, you'd have another one in 24 hours for roughly $100. I love mine and the system is stable and really meets all my productivity and gaming needs for now. I would stay near 4.2, just for the sake of not worrying about stability or hiccups along the way.

Is it stable? Have you run any form of torture test like prime95 for a prolonged period of time? What's the CPU temp at 4.5ghz after a little while of testing?

If it's stable and reasonably cool, I don't see why you wouldn't keep it OC'd at 4.5ghz.

Ive only benched with CPU-Z and did a stress of a little under an hour on max load and the max temp was 71 C at the end.
and right now im watching stream on twitch at 15% cpu usage and 52 C
