Overclocking CPU Temperatures

[Adam Barakat]

Hello
I am a first time Overclocker, and I believed that as long as my CPU was able to run a stress test, such as prime95 without hitting 80 degrees and no failure then I have made a decent Overclock. I have a Haswell i5 4670k 3.40ghz processor, overclocked at 3.79, I have a max temperature so far of 76/77, is this okay? I've been running the test for a while now, I was just wondering what maximum temperatures people assume I should be having and if I should slightly lower the overclock or if this temperature is fine as it is?
Thank you very much for any help, it is much appreciated.

I'd say that's looking good, you might want to list your mobo, voltages, other components, etc - the info would be a help to others

I've managed to get it to 4.2ghz while maintaining a 57 degree average.
