Your low threshold is 63* . The air across your evaporator will drop 20* when properly charged. In order for the evaporator to absorb this much heat energy, the evaporator itself will need to be 30* cooler. This will make the evaporator 33*. any cooler, and the moisture in the air will freeze on the coils.
Some units run cooler, some not as cool. For optimum performance, never set the thermostat lower than 65, and monitor the evaporator.
Realistically, you should set your thermostat around 72. If the air doesn't get to 72 degrees, the machine needs to be inspected by a qualified technician.

If your AC unit is freezing up you have another problem. It has nothing to do with where you set the temp.

Setting the thermostat as low as it will go will not cause the unit to freeze up. It may if you do that in the winter time. The warm summer air will prevent it from getting cold enough to freeze up. If it is freezing up, you most likely have freon leak.
