I overclocked my i7 4770K to 4.5GHz at a manual voltage of 1.265 in my Asus Z97-A BIOS.

 

Does everything look fine?

 

IDLE temps - 27C

Under load with OCCT - 86C

Also, why does it show on the specification that it is only '@ 3.5GHz' yet it has been overclocked?

That's the specification Intel has set for the CPU to follow. It's nothing more than a name. It's the same thing for me as well.

the core speed says that your at 800 mhz, unless you put in on adaptive your just fine

 

Seems to be something to do with power save as it automatically adjusts
