safe overclock motherboard?

[valhallarising]

Hi, i got a msi h55-e33 that can be overclocked with auto switches on the motherboard to gain 5 to 20 percent i tried it and it got the Clock up to 3,8 GHz from 3.33 for a intel i5-650 is this a safe overclock? temperatures seem to the same and it seems to run like Before except for its faster.
anything else i should test except for temperature?

As long as it is a stable OC and temps are within limits, you are fine. Generally, 77C is safe core temp for that gen i5. Anything above, is getting too warm if left to run at that temp for any length of time. You may want to run something like Intel Burn Test to see if it is stable.

Keep in mind, OC'ing with the stock cooler is generally considered a no-no. Normally, it can't maintain low enough temp if OC'ed very much. But yours is a very mild OC.

ok, i got a Arctic fan that seems to keep temperatures low though i did get some crashes though with errors like bad pool header and
paging fault im not sure if that could be driver related though i had hdd outside box for a while used it in a another computer then put it back in this one.

Wait. You were using your PC's boot drive in another machine? To boot with and run in that machine? And now it's back in the machine it was originally in? If so, (1) it's surprising that even worked and (2) it's no wonder you are having problems. The two machines must have been quite similar. Yeah, and that's just the start of your problems...
