Definitely.

How much more room would you think I have to go up?
Well you still have headroom temperature wise for me it would be how much voltage you're going to need for the next 100+ mhz. What I would do, is get it stable first, then we can see where you're at voltage wise.

Reality is the performance gains for the next 100+ mhz may not be worth the amount of voltage needed to get there. This is also taking into account you're using it as a daily Oc. This is the reason I run 4.7 @ 1.46875 v on my 8350. For me the amount of voltage i needed to get stable at 4.8 over then the 4.7 I run daily wasn't worth it. I still had plenty of headroom temperature wise, IIRC my max temp at 4.8 were low 50c but I needed around 1.5 v to do so and didn't see any reason to justify running there. Don't get me wrong I've hit this 8350 with a whole lot more voltage for benching, but to run it there daily didn't make sense to me for what I was gaining.
