3770K 4.5Ghz Overclock

Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum, but I needed a couple opinions..

I've built my latest rig 4 days ago and have just overclocked my 3770K to 4.5Ghz with 1.23 vcore (First time overclocking). After about an hour of prime 95 I'm sitting at mid to high 50s (degrees C) with occasional 60 spikes. However when it started it was in the same range, then about 20 minutes in, I had mid to high 60s touching 70 but now it's down to said temperatures. I'm using the noctua NH-D14 and used the pea method for the thermal paste. If you can tell me if this is a good overclock and if the temperature changes I've been getting are to be expected? Thanks in advance!

CPU: i7-3770K 4.5Ghz @ 1.235v   CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14   Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V   Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB   Storage: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD/Western Digital Black 1TB 7200RPM


GPU: Asus DirectCU II GTX 770 2GB   Case: Cooler Master HAF XM   PSU: Corsair AX860 Platinum   Mouse: R.A.T. 9   Keyboard: CM Storm Ultimate Quickfire Cherry MX Blue

Oh good, I wasn't sure if it was running hot for the overclock! Is it looking like this chip is a good overclocker? Or is it about average?

Looks fine, the rated max temp, I believe is about 105 degrees c and about 1.5 volts is when you can start to do permanent damage.
