Has anyone overclocked this CPU and what is the safest you overclocked it to? as I was looking to upgrade to a 9370, but would overlclocking mine be better?

I cant say specific number of mhz, every chip is different, some can overclock more than another one
But if you stay under 1.5V on Vcore and under 65C when gaming, its ok to OC
Most of them can hit 4800MHz
