Yep, I have same CPU at 4.8, its a rock and H2o cooled 28c idle and 34 under 100% load.
I had my CPU at 5.2GHz and it ran great, could game and everything, but 3Dmark would crash to desktop.. and with a i7 2600K 4.8GHz is very fast.
Thats 1Ghz faster than stock
 

That's more than 1Ghz faster! It is 1.4Ghz!
 

Well, i like to keep my sandy bridge under 1.36v for safety. I have heard that 1.38v is just about were you should end it, but if you aren't running that voltage through it all the time and you have really good cooling, I would say it is "safe". With overclocking, there is always that risk of breaking something when raising voltages.
