Finally overclocked my 5820K. got it to 4.2Ghz on 1.23V. i ran AIDA64 for 20 minutes and got a idle temp of 40 degrees and a max load temp of 70-75 degrees (peaked at 85 for a split second but only at the start of the test and didnt fail). are these temperatures safe?

the TJmax for the 5820k is 105c so your well away from that & definitely safe

I'd recommend to keep it at 75C max. :)

Yep, this is good. And maybe this would be a better profile pic: http://i.imgur.com/g8OhbE1.png

Good news, lowered the temps by 3-5 degrees by decreasing voltage from 1.235 to 1.228 without hassle
