It all depends on how much risk you want to take ;-)

Up to around 4.4Ghz seems to be quite a bit less risk (due to voltages and heat generated) than say 4.8Ghz.

Depends on the chip, some people (with the same chip, even the same batch number) can reach 5Ghz with 1.42v, some need 1.6v.

You won't feel any real world difference when going over 4Ghz (i.e. to 4.5Ghz), hence many, including myself, sit happily at a low voltage 4.2Ghz :¬)
