Hi, this is my first build, but I thought about overclocking my CPU.
So from 3.3GHz I managed to get the CPU up to 4.5GHz. Although, I didn't change any of the settings, except changing the RAM specs to XMP...etc... so that my CPU processor speed was multiplied by 125MHz instead of 100MHz, and then increasing the 29 clock speed to 36 I believe.
Everything else I kept on auto because after messing around with some voltages and everything, my PC didn't turn on.
It seems to be working because I ran some CPU temps. using AIDA64 and the max CPU temp was 70 degrees celsius.
So, is this OK? I am very new to overclocking, but does anyone have some recommended settings for my setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
p.s. I created another thread asking a question that may be related to this. It is about my PC sometimes not turning on straight away. Here is the thread link if anyone would be ever so kind to take a look. Once again, I say thank you: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2744119/custom-someitmes-turn-straight.html
