Here's my question: Am I good with these numbers? What should I expect from this? Is this a good overclock? My computer ran stable overnight. I'm using aida64. Are there any are precautions I should take. I have nearly no frame of reference for these kinds of things. I just learned it over this past week. Help please. My specs:

i5-4670k
ASUS Z87-Pro
Noctua NH-D14
G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8gb 2133
EVGA Geforce GTX-660 SC
Rosewill Blackhawk ATX mid
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD

agreed but, when youre testing with AIDA64, have you tried using the FPU stress test only? that test is awesome to test for absolute stability, just make sure you're constantly watching the temps as it has a tendency to piss off the CPU even more than it already is :)

as long as your temps are in check, looks great :)

And what is a good range? I have a NZXT sentry-2 fan controller, but i havent hooked up the sensors yet. SHould i do this to monitor my temperatures?

I'd say around 80c, but not recommended. I use HWmonitor, it monitors your Mobo, CPU,GPU, HDD, temps and voltages, and your fan rpm.
