I'm scared. Should I go to 1.6v?

Maybe I'll get more of response in this thread:
Just got my new machine with a i7-5820K. I assume I should look into overclocking, but I'm not sure where to start.
What are the main drawbacks from overclocking?
How do I go about doing it? Should I use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility? I've also read you should only overclock from the BIOS??
I'd be finding your limits with 1.380V VCore first...i5 4670k, currently sitting at 4.2 with 1.7v and 1.2 OCv. I can't seem to get it to go any higher (stable).
I have an antec h2o, antec 550W "true power" Gold, and am using gelID thermal paste; and yet it seems to be hitting 88* and throttling if i go above 4.2; anything above 4.5 just BSODs automagically.
Anyone have any clue, or is the 4670k really just that hot?
Edit: Asus Z97Pro mobo too
Okay, so I finally decided to overclock my GPU and I'm almost sure I know what I'm doing. I seem to have hit a bit of a snag though, I have the core clock offset at +120MHz putting the card at 1512MHz but after increasing it and running the Heaven benchmark again, the boost clock still caps right there. I have the power limit set to 112, could this be some kind of safeguard built into the GPU?
I'm using the Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 with the latest drivers installed and MSI Afterburner to OC.
The 9xx is nothing but safeguards. If it's capping at that it's 'figuring out' that that is what the 'safe' OC is. It can vary between games and benchmarks how high it will go. Raising it sometimes even more can overcome it, but if it's hitting some other limiting factor first it won't go higher. GPU-Z should tell you what is limiting your OC.Okay, so I finally decided to overclock my GPU and I'm almost sure I know what I'm doing.

Even though this thread is pretty dead, I guess I'll try in here first.
I used the Haswell Overclocking guide over on Overclock.net on my CPU last night. Anyways I just want to check if my Haswell chip is more or less normal. I'm using a Asus Z97M-Plus motherboard, with a i5-4690k and a Hyper Evo 212 cooler.
I probably should have upped multiplier and voltage slowly, but I read that most people with a Haswell chip could do 4.4ghz on air at 1.25v-1.3v so I just went straight to 1.25v and multiplier to 45.
When I ran Prime 95 temps got really hot 94 deg in about 10 minutes, so I stopped that test. I tried 1 loop of x264 and temps were a lot lower around 75C maximum. Obviously I need to run it a lot more but I didn't have that much time last night. I played some Skyrim (about half an hour) and ran the Witcher 3 (half an hour) and the temps were really low, around 60 deg. There was something weird with Skyrim right at the start of the game, where the horse moved up and down for no particular reason. Is that something to do with the overclock? Everything else was fine though.
Should I bother fine-tuning it? Reducing voltage? up the multiplier again? I'm happy with 4.5ghz with 75 deg temps. Does it matter if it failed Prime 95? and how long should I run the x264 stress test for?
Ok thanks.
Is there any need for me to reduce my voltage down to get optimal voltage for 4.5ghz? Or should I just leave it at 1.25v?
If you have good temps, not really. I'm more familiar with sandy bridge and skylake but that is not a very high vcore or anything, so I wouldn't be concerned.
What LLC are you running?
