Watch the temps. That'll be what stops you.
That and the VRM on that board.

so what you think should go to?
You just now changed your sig. It said Gigabyte 970 something when you started this thread.:p

That being said, temps are what will stop you.

think can't really go higher sitting at 50 at load @ 4.3.

Im ok with 4.3, im just looking for more experienced people to tell me what they think if possible, id go a bit further. If seems perfect spot, ill just leave it.
 
Realistically, with that low a Vcore, your temps seem high to me. You should be in the 4.5-4.7 range at 1.4v or so before you see temps like that.

yeah I dont have the best airflow setup it seems, and my room here in FL is relativity always ~75-80, and my video card runs really hot always.

using 2 Noctura input fans, 3 corasir 1200rpm exhaust, 1 in back 2 on top. and a Evo 212 cpu cooler.
 
Florida......I understand now. :)
For an Evo on a FX in FL, in the summer, you're doing pretty well then.
