Here is a link to my CPU-Z Validation
http://valid.x86.fr/20d0as

I am using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to cool the CPU with cooler master thermal paste named something gold i don't remember the name.

My RAM is Kingston Hyper-X 1600 MHz Blu 2x4

If there is something that's not good please tell me.

You can't just ask somebody like that if the OC is good. You need to run Prime 95 for a while and if there are no crashes, you're fine... as far it not exploding in your face in the next 5 minutes goes. ;)

You have to run Prime95 to see if it is stable. If you crash, adjust the CPU voltage. If you overheat, lower the OC

And if that doesn't help, you can't OC any more than it will let you... bad luck on the CPU lottery chump... :p

Hahaha lol!! true @BigBadBeef
I tried running Prime95 for about 4 hours one core failed other were working fine and tried running Intel Burn Test Linkpack passed all!
And never saw any hang or freezing problem so it may be a prime95 application issue
the max temps. on the core i saw were 50c so, i think i'm fine

If one core failed then Prime 95 test failed! scale down the OC!
