How much further can I overclock here?

But how far beyond the "limits" that AMD has stipulated can I go safely on the stock cooler? I've seen 1.45V on stock air cooling listed elsewhere but what about thermal limits.

I wouldn't go anything over stock voltage with the stock heatsink. OC'ing BTW does not void the warranty on the BE processor. As well, if you hit the thermal limits of the proc it will either simply lock up / blue screen / etc or shut down.
