It's all trial and error. As for how you'll know when your system becomes unstable..you can run some stability testing software, or you might experience a lock-up, or any number of errata during high CPU loading.

Stability testing is the best method. RunningPrime 95 (http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm) torture test and 3DMark (http://gamershq.madonion.com/download/) are good tests of system stability.

Remember to watch your temperatures, and only increase Vcore when you have adequate cooling.
