Considering the impact of raising Ghz to its maximum stable value without altering voltage levels, assess the resulting consequences and their scale.

When voltage stays constant, temperature rises in a straight line. A 10% increase in clock speed equals a 10% rise in heat. If both clock and voltage are boosted by 20%, the effect becomes exponential—about a 44% increase in heat (1.20 × 1.20 = 1.44).

Increasing the heat will also raise the power consumption of the MB, which means the VRM will have to work a bit harder. As long as you manage the temperature, it shouldn't be an issue.

CountMike adds extra warmth, increasing power consumption from the MB and causing the VRM to warm further. As long as you manage the heat, it shouldn't be an issue.

I used to run a 8350 with no voltage increase OC'd a little bit... I was on air and my board wasn't the best...
I think you'll be fine, but I think you'll have more fun OCing with some higher voltage and better cooling. Or at least you'll see better results...
