so i recently took some friendly advice about overclocking my processor to a safe 3.8ghz just by changing the multiplier to 19x. So now i want go even further into a stable 4.0ghz if possible. I have seen people do this but have no clue how to approach this safely. But first i want to know if it is okay to do so, so here i have my most recent stress test from prime95:

My CPU and cores dont seem to want to go over 55C, which i know is good. but i know other variables need to apply. which is why im wondering if i have enough "free space" to bump my CPU to 4.0ghz?
any recommendations will be very helpful, thanks.
Also, here are my computer specs:
CPU- AMD Phenom ii 3.4ghz 965
MOBO- ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3
RAM- 16 GB (4x4) G-SKILL RAM 1333 (a little unnecessary i know..)
GRPHX CARD- XFX RADEON HD6870 1GB 256-BIT
CPU COOLER- 120mm ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED with RC33P 800rpm ~ 1,300rpm
