5.5 - 4.5 is fine for a 10% tolerance, but its all good. For OCing the higher your 5V the better. As long as it stays around there it is cool.

Is this from the mobo monitor or a separate meter? My Soyo 6BB consistently gives slightly higher readings than the meter I have that's rated for 0.5% accuracy.
