Are these good settings for oc the 2600k @ 4.6 ? or should i do some other settings?



i have oced my pc first time.
my system specs are
intel core i7 2600k @ 4.5 Ghz , corsair h100i Gtx cooler, p8z68 deluxe mobo, msi lightning 7970 3gb gpu, corsair force 3 GT 240 GB SSD, WD 1 TB, Segate 500 Gb, corsair vengeance ddr3 16gb-1600 4gx4 , corsair Hx 1200i psu, cooler master haf X case.

i have followed these steps and booted in windows in first try.

i have run prime95 blend test for 15 mins

cpu-z shows voltage as

core vid 1.376v


and real temp shows 68c - 74c in all four cores.

Idle temp is 40c-44c (room temperature is about 34c)

questions:

are these overclocking settings in bios ok?

is it normal temperature at idle and load?

is core voltage 1.376v at load ok? (idle voltage is 0.9)

Voltages look OK. Temps are a little on the hot side, but this is full load stress testing and worst case scenario.

Run your stress test for 1-2 hours or so to get a better idea whether or not it is stable. 15 minutes is not long enough.

Manually set your CPU and case fans to max speed for this test and watch your temperatures.

If you get no errors or core failures then you should be OK.

okay I will do stress test for more then 2 hours, . .
there is only one problem, real temp shows that my pc idle temp is between 40c - 44c but sometimes it jumps upto 58c - 60c on idle for one or two seconds. why it happens?

its corsare vengeance 4x4gb ddr3 1600 bus ram kit, 9+9+9=24,
in bios it still shows that ram at 1600 bus.
what guides should I read about it?
and
why frequency is half of labeled?

sorry I am new for overclocking, but in XMP it runs at 1600 bus perfectly.

Double Data Rate (DDR) technology allows data to be transmitted twice per clock cycle, so DDR SDRAM with a 200 MHz clock rate actually has a 400 MHz data rate, and is referred to as DDR400. The naming convention for finished modules has become its bandwidth, with each module providing 64 data connections for 8 Bytes of data per transfer. A 400 MHz data rate multiplied by 8 Bytes per transfer provides 3,200 MB/s bandwidth, hence the name PC3200.
