Using an NH-D14 on a 5820K and getting 50-60 max on stress testing and am getting 35-45 under heavy gaming load. Is this enough headroom to overclock and can i start at 4.5Ghz and 1.3V like linus did in his 5820K overclocking guide

That seems normal. Keep load temps below ~80-90c and you should be fine.

That's pretty good actually. You have lots of headroom there!
