What motherboard specifically. That way we can link a more specific guide rather then a general one.

oh i am sorry. its this one https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97P/
i know its a low tier but it could oc at least at 4 to 4.2

Generic "Quick and Dirty", you should probably give this a go to get a feel for your chip's limits:

A more specific guide: (I did crack this open and give a quick read, nothing too different from the older z87/z97 guides)

Here is my personal favorite, gets into a little more detail:

Basic 4.2 overclock.
change the multiplier to 42, set the Vcore voltage to 1.22 run prime 95 to stress and monitor temps.
if the overclock fails bump the voltage up in 0.01 increments until it's stable.
if the overclock is stable at 1.22 then bump it down 0.01 increments till if fails prime 95 then bump it up 0.02

u mean when it becomes stable i bump donw by 0.01 run prime 95 and if its still stable, keep bumping donw till it fails.and when it fails at the volt i have as the first failed i add 0.02 more? (for example if it fail at 1.20 then i bump it up at 1.22? )

If its not stable at 1.22 them bump it up to 1.23 go up by 0.01 till it is stable.
If it is stable go down by 0.01 till it fails then bump that up by 0.02
