Phenom II throttles on 61.5C. 65C and beyond is when the shit is about to fry.
Answering your question, you should not overclock before you research basic information on how to not fuck up your hardware.
>voltage at 1.600
For fucks sake. Are you high?
>1.6v

Anything over 1.4 and u can expect any CPU to die within 2 years.

my cpu is already 4 years old.. but on bios it shows default voltage as 1.475, can you tell me the correct value for 4.2 ghz?

Ramp up towards 4.2GHz at stock voltage, and test for stability with Prime95. Increase the voltage when you experience instability or errors in P95. Of course, I've heard Prime95 isn't THE best stability testing tool nowadays, but it's what I used to use when I OC'd my Core 2 rig alongside Memtest 86+.
