Overclocking Pentium E5800 is this safe?

[REALIllusion]

can someone tell me if this is an OK speed for my E5800?
System specs
Gigabyte G41 MT-S2
Pentium E5800 Dual Core (Currently 4Ghz) (multiplier : 250 x 16)
Kingston ddr3 memory 2GB x 2
AMD Radeon HD6570 [700Mhz Core clock 720Mhz Memory Clock]
WD Green 1TB
Aerocool Strike X psu 600w
Deepcool Gammaxx 300 Cpu cooler

thats a pretty good overclock for that cpu. should be safe if you keep the temps under 70c.

Your PSU 12V line is only reading 3.84V. Check it again in bios. If the same, get a better quality PSU - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

I wouldn't OC anything or even use the PC at all till the PSU was replaced.

if that was remotely accurate, and the 12v was actually 3.84, the pc would not be running at all. 12v components would not run with 3.84v. It's a false reading from the motherboard.

I have another PSU here... but its a Generic one. it came with my old CPU case. and People here told me not to trust Generic PSUs.
lol what should i use?
all i know about that psu is, its 600w. and it doesn't even have a 4 pin molex. LOL

dont use it. If you really want to confirm the actual 12v reading of your psu get a multimeter, set to DCv and connect one end to yellow wire (12v) and the other end to black.

You dont have to measure from this connector any spare 4 pin you can measure from.

sadly, I dont have a multimeter. LOL. i just realized that im such a noob
Edit : ill just try to get a new psu next month just to be sure.
