i can overclock my x4 by 500mhz on air without any problems at all, thou i simply raise multiplier (black edition unlocked)
there is point when bad stuff starts to happen, by simply going to 550mhz my cpu becomes crazy, power usage doubles and temperature goes 70c at idle.
Also glitches appear (even thou pass 24hour prime 95) for example when encoding video on OC CPU it will introduce artifacts all over the place.

You are overdoing it if there is no improvement to program you are using, each CPU got certain point where OC becomes useless.
