A question about overclocking

Today I overclocked my 2500k to 4,5ghz. 

 

For the past 2 hours I've been watching Twitch. With RealTemp, I noticed that my CPU runs at 4500mhz most of the time. Temperatures are around 50c, but it never goes above 75c in gaming.

Is this normal, or is Twitch CPU intensive?

 

Edit: I'm mostly asking in regards to the constant 4500mhz, not temperatures.

no thats quite normal. because you set a defined voltage that doesnt change. normally it lowers to decrease temps

Doesn't Turbo Mode do this trough? I have it enabled in the BIOS.

 

It's running constantly at 4500mhz, or I haven't seen it go below it. Might even just be me.

its running at max speed not max capacity :) its totally fine

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I manually changed the speed and voltage. Voltage right now is at 1.330v.
