I've posted other questions as you may have seen, just need this one answered, is it ok to run a CPU at the intentional speed, lets say what I've got it at which is 4.8Ghz, mine doesn't drop nor does it go higher, is it fine?, bear in mind I disabled the turbo and set the Multi + voltage manually.

Cpu: i5-2500k @4.8Ghz, MB: Asus Maximus V Formula, CPU cooler: Be quiet! Dark rock pro 2, GPU: Evga Gtx660 FTW@1.24ghz. Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1866Mhz, PSU: Be quiet! 730w Semi modular, SSD: Corsair force 3 240Gb, HDD: WD Green 1TB, Case: Nzxt H2 with 4 Corsair SP120's, Win7

It's perfectly fine.

Good, my voltage is decent enough so it should be fine? 1.36v?

That voltage seems good for 4.8Ghz, stress test with Prime95 for 30-90 minutes & watch for errors or high temps, if none occur then you're totally fine.

Well to be honest mate, I stressed 4 hours straight on prime, max of 75'c, lowest @100 load was 65'c, and I've been running this for 4 days now with no bluescreens, errors, etc.
