I am running on a stock cooler and lightly overclocked my cpu. I was just wondering if every thing was fine. are my temps too high for astock cooler, how about voltage? I plan on getting a h100i GTX.

75C during just gaming like that is too high, you should indeed back off from your overclock until you have an aftermarket cooler then.

Turn off the overclock until you get the Corsair.
Not worth the risk.

Are those temperatures under a stress testing application? If that is under say Prime95, then your light overclock is perfectly fine for general usage. If that overclock is during lighter loads like gaming/regular usage, then revert to stock.

I wouldn't go any higher than that light overclock until you have an aftermarket cooler, but you should again be fine if 75C is under a stress app like Prime95.
