Hey guys.

So I just built my dream PC a couple of days ago. Its been a very long time since I've had a decent computer.

It has an 8600k paired with a ROG Ryuo 240mm.  Here's the full build if you're interested.

Anyway, I'm very new to overclocking so forgive me if this seems dumb to any of you.

I have it OCed to 4.8ghz. My temps get up to 62 ° C  max during stress tests, 32 ° - 37 °  during idle, and somewhere in between 50 ° - 58 °  during gaming.

Does that seem like a safe spot to be at? If not, what is safe? Can I push it further? How will I know if I'm going too far? If you have any tips or anything, that would be appreciated too.

I want to push it pretty much as far as I can as long as that means it wont die in a month.

Thanks

you still have room to push further honestly. 62c under stress test is still very cool honestly. With Synthetic stress tests generally you want to stay no more than the 75-80c range.
