Is there a way to know if i reached the limits? With the Memory multiplier and CPU Multiplier, I was able to reach 4.10 GHz. Can I somehow go higher? I want to make the most of this CPU while I am saving up for a G4560 build. How can I know if I reach the limits? What are the do's and don'ts when overclocking? I am kinda new to overclocking the CPU

You need to watch your Socket temp and compare it with your Cpu temp. AMD Overdrive only Subtracts the Temp it receives from the algorithm the A4 uses. In other words if your CPU temp reads 50c then AMD Overdrive will report 12c away from the thermal margin. Socket temps are way more accurate and can give you a realistic idea as to where you are at with your temps. Most of the time the socket is off by 7c-12c from your core temp depending on your cooler.

Cpu temps are accurate above 42c anything below is thrown off due to the algorithm

Max CPU temp-62c
Max Socket temp-70c
