Hi, I recently overclocked my i2500k from 3.3GHz to 4.3GHz, as I found 4.5GHz running temperatures too high.

My idle temp as you can see on the pictures above are around 36C
I tested my overclock 24 hours with Prime95 and highest temp was 55C

I'll list the specs if anyone is unable to view the images.
CPU: i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz (Now running at 4.30GHz)
RAM: 4,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)
MB: Gigabyte P67A
GPU: NVidia GTX 560 Ti
PSU: Corsair HX 620W

Are my voltages and temps fine?

Hope I included all the information necessary!
First time poster, thanks in advance!

Just to add another opinion, Blackbird is spot on.

If you're hungry for more, I'd wager you could pull 4.8GHz out of that chip. That being said, you're sitting at a pretty nice sweet spot for your particular processor.

Thanks! I upped it to 1.35v running @ 4.5GHz, 55C 100% Load.
Now getting my RAM timings are gonna be a challenge!
BTW: Is there anyways I could give you +1 points or something like that?
