cpu temps?

haha, my house is about 70-80 inside. but I think the core that has the lowest temp is just naturally lower than the others, because it always stays lower.
anyways I spent all day trying to figure out how to overclock the thing to 4.5 while being stable, I tried what other people did with the same mobo and cpu as me and everything step by step. couldnt get it to run without blue screening.
I found a tech forum that people had been reporting using the one click overclocking tool in the bios for cpu's with turbo boost... well that did the trick, set turbo boost to 4.2 and did a prime95 test and after 1 minute it got to 75c, and after 3 minutes it stayed at 75c, so I figured thats about where it sits. now a question for you guys. Is that a solid temp while running prime95? or do you think I should shoot for even lower, I dont think anything is going to even stress it as much as prime95 so I think its good, gonna run bf3 for 10 minutes or so and see how hot it is.

Dont go auto-overclock, manual is the way to go
post your PC spec and bios OC settings, I will get you to >4.5ghz no sweat
 
and here are the bios options, everyone seems toi mention messing around with all of these settings so maybe you can get it right.

Here are my system specs.
fatal1ty p67 performance (mobo)
asus gtx 580
i7 2600k
g-skill sniper 12gb 1600mhz
zalman cnps10x (cpu fan)
I am not exactly sure if this is my power supply, but it IS a rosewill 1000w bronze. and it does have the blue light like this one.
Newegg.com - Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C, 80Plus Bronze Certified,Modular Cable Design,ATX12V v2.3/ EPS12V,SLI Ready,CrossFire Ready,Active PFC"Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply


this is what everyone I could find is suggesting, but it wouldnt work for me.
