What is the make and model of your CPU cooler? Stock coolers are abysmal at cooling any overclock on the K suffix 4th gen processor.

you've never mentioned what cooler you have, you may wanna grab an upgrade... or at least make sure the thermal paste is recently changed. (it hardens over time and doesn't work as well as when first applied).

60 is OK. there's room to oc. but a chill cpu is a happy cpu no matter how or not you oc.
