there's a lot more to it then just changing the multiplier
have you read up on manual overclocking at all?
if not, have a look here. I found it a really good guide

In order to set the voltage, it needs to be set to manual mode in the bios.
Yes, 1.3v volts is a safe amount for that CPU if your cooler can keep temps down

Just to make sure you're changing the correct setting, it's CPU Core Voltage Override that you need to change.

but don't go making any large jumps in voltages
read through that guide
keep a check on your temps
raise voltage & mutliplier gradually

If you can set your multiplier and volts in and hit the correct CPU frequency when stress testing, then you don't really need to worry about the uncore frequency

Also, don't just rely on stress testing to decide you've got a stable overclock.
I've OC settings that would stress test fine, but certain games/applications would blue screen. So test it with a few different things

As long as you can keep safe temps, then yes.
You'll find a lot of different opinions about what voltage to not exceed.
Some say 1.3, some 1.35, some 1.4
From what I've found, temps really start to ramp up after 1.3v and personally I like to keep it under 1.35v.
I'm currently running 4.6ghz @ 1.27 volts.
I can safely run up to 4.8ghz @ 1.32v but temps start to get a bit warm for my liking at that setting.
