You're definitely OK without having to overclock it too much. You can probably achieve a good stable 4.2 ish GHz OC without adjusting much in terms of voltages. 4.5GHz will be a task, be sure to have a great cooler on hand (H100i or better).

It runs hot for overclocking, you can try to play around with it and do some stress tests by doing a soft overclock like 3.8ghz and add .1Ghz at a time running prime95. But that's just for fun, in games running the stock clocks will do just beast :) If you want to do serious overclocks like 4.5+ Consider watercooling unless you're lucky and have a chip that can do 4.8 :O

If you have an asus motherboard you can use the turbo v evo to overclock both your cpu and gpu.you can also overclock manually.also get a very good cooler.no problem if everything works fine now.
