My first i7 OC attempt, advice needed

OK guys, Need some advice on OCing.

Case Carbide-series-air-540 plenty of airflow, always cool and quiet - 2 fans in (front), 1 out (back) + 2 blowing out (on the h110, top)
Cooling h110 280mm
Full spec under "my system" link
Ram info attached

What values do I need to set in the BIOS if I wish to run @ 4.0 ghz?
Where do I even begin, I am running an OC profile from the MSI software which beefed it up to 3.8, I like the improved responsiveness and render times, and I want more! :D

IDLE
Stock: 31 C
OC genie (3.8 ghz) 34 c

LOAD
Stock: no more than 43
OC genie 3.8: SOMETIMES nudges 46, usually 44-45 (premiere pro render + music and browsing internet at the same time)

stress test OCCP 30 mins
stock (3.3): did not run
oc genie (3.8): max (cores 0-5): 52 53 57 52 57 50

Fan profiles at minimum (quiet), did not hear them spin up above 50 C but then, I never managed to exceed 46 C on this PC so I set them not to kick in too much (bios).

Can we make it to 4.0? Thanks in advance!
