You have the ability to push your processor beyond its limits. The extent of overclocking you can achieve depends on whether your chip performs well or not. Begin gradually increasing the speed until you hit around 75c during heavy use—this is considered the upper limit for most enthusiasts. It’s quite challenging for me. I aim to maintain CPU temperatures below 70 while pushing it, but results vary from person to person.
