Good Overclock Settings?

Hello.

 

I overclocked my computer about 2 months ago and I just did a bios update. The BIOS update reset my settings, so I set it back to the settings I had before, which is 4.2GHz at 1.250V. Its late at night and I just want to make sure I set my settings back correctly. I am going to run a 5 minute stress test just to make sure.

so whats the question? 4.2 is really low btw

Make sure my settings are "stable" and I have correctly set it back to 4.2GHz @1.250V after the BIOS update.  (I know 4.2GHz is low, I am going to increase it in the future)
