Can I just increase my core clock and turbo boost without change any power save resource or voltages?

Hey guys! I was wondering if I can increase my CPU clock from 3.5GHz to 4.0GHz without disable the Turbo Boost, setting this to 4.3GHz? This is unusual and the overclockers turn up their noses to this. But every time that I set my setup to a fixed clock higher than 4.0GHz, disabling power save resources, I get BSOD, and I don't want to change the voltages to fix this problem. (I think this problem is caused by working on a high clock every time, because the Cool n' Quiet is disabled, and the processor doesn't work at low clock sometimes)

My CPU is the FX-6300
The complete setup is...
-Gigabyte GA78LMT-USB3 (rev 5.0)
-R9 280X
-Cooler Master Hyper T4 (on push-pull system)
(At really good temp. Min 14°C Avg 25°C Max 47°C on p95)
-1x Kingston 8GB DDR 1333MHz (KVR1333D3N9/8G)

Is it really recommended to disable AMD Cool n' Quiet?
Which another power save resource did you guys turn off on BIOS?

Sorry for my bad english! Understand each other is the priority :)
Thanks!

Assuming your CPU is an average chip, (very rarely people get to 4.9 GHz with less than 1.5V, some dont even get to 4.6 GHz despite all the 5.0 GHz you see with 1.475V)

Try 1.45000V LLC Medium 200*25
This will net you 4.50 GHz.

If you are lucky you can get up to 4.7 GHz on that voltage.

Use that as a starting point. And see how much volts your cooler can handlebefore reaching 71.1°C (61.1°C for FX 8, 71.1°C for FX 4and FX 6), then stability test higher clocks until its unstable, then lower and done.

EDIT: Disable Turbo. You dont want the clock to increase to like 4.8 GHz because then it will be unstable. Besides you can just stay at 4.50 GHz if you dont feel comfortable at higher clocks.
Power states, Turbo and C&Q make testing difficult because of ever changing values for everything. Some of them could be re-anabled after stable OC is reached.
If you OC, raising voltages is practically mandatory for stability. Some small amount of OC can be reached with stock voltage but that also depends on "Silicone lottery" for CPU and other components.
