Overclocking i5-3570k with offset voltage

Hey everyone,
I just did my first OC on my new i5-3570k following a simple youtube guide and I was wondering if this looks alright and if I should do anything to raise or lower the offset voltage.

Currently i'm at
bclk:100 multiplier:4.4 >> 4400mhz
and my offset voltage is 0.065. (i tried 0.055 which did yield me 2c lower average temps but it froze within the first hour)

I loaded up and have had core temp, aida64 and prime95 up for the last 2 hours while i'm posting this(I'll continue to leave it on for the next 4-6 hours)

Tt seems to be running stably on prime95 with
core clock: 4400mhz
core volt: 1.280V
ave temp: 74c
max temp:77c

My system is:
phantom410 case w/ 5 fans
700w thermaltake ps
p8z77-v-lk mobo
i5-3570k
hyper212 evo w/ 2 fans push/pull
gskill 8gb 1600mhz ram
gigabyte gtx680 oc @1201mhz
win7x64

Is this alright or should I change anything? I have very little OC experience haha. I'm also using stock thermal paste, worth changing?

thanks =P it actually did crash at about 3 hours so after scouring the internet for another couple hours i ended up setting a manual 1.29V core rather than an offset. annyways finally a stable 4.4 so yay me
