i5-3570k Overclocking. Is this normal / above average?

[GOM3RPLY3R]

Hello all.

I finally got my i5-3570k successfully OCed to 4.5 Ghz (4489 Mhz). I had some problems doing scratch overclocking as it failed every time, but I eventually figured out that I can simply put the TPU switch on my ASUS P8z77-V PRO, then set the multiplier to 44 to get 4489. :3

I did some tweaking, and I want to know if I did it well.

I have a h100i cooler, however the fans didn't fit inside the case, so they are on the outside, in a pull configuration, pulling the air out of the case.

Currently:

Clock: 4489 Mhz
V-core: 1.105
Idle Temp Avg.: 32ºC
Passmark Max Temp Avg.: 58ºC
Passmark Max Temp Core: 63ºC (core 1)

These temps with passmark were the hottest I could get it. Played a bunch of games, and it's totally stable. I do need to however, change the thermal paste, as I have my own Arctic Silver paste which from what I understand, can drop the temps from 2ºC up to 10ºC :3 Just need the darn alcohol.

If you guys have any overclocks, let me know ^_^. And last but not least, is this normal, above average, insane?

Looks very good! Congrats, getting to 4.6/7 or better normally takes a fairly healthy jump in the vCore
