e4500 OC temp concerns

My first build, OC, and posting here, previously I've just been reading these informative boards. But I got some questions which I can't seem to get a clear answer to with researching and I wanted someinput from experienced folks.

I got an E4500 with a GA-P35-DS3L using a stock cooler. I OCed the system to 2.93 at 1.325v and it's P95 stable for a 6 hour run (short).

1) Is 1.325v too high for running e4500 at 266 x 11 and whether I'm not overvolting too much?

My other questions are about temperatures. I run vista64 so I couldn't use coretemp and used speedfan instead. It reported temperatures of 51C at full load. I would be fine with those figures, but I've read the temperature guide (which was just recently removed from here) and it confused me a bit. The e4500 is M0 stepped, and the way I understood the guide is that for M0 stepped cpus I should use a +15 offset with speedfad, in other places I'm reading that it's only necessary for quads.

2) Do I use any offset values with speedfan 4.33 and e4500?

3) If I don't need to and my temp readings are somewhat accurate, are low 50's C temps alright for the stock cooler to handle at full load?

My idle is 19C but that's because it's bone chillingly cold in my basement. No heat besides the utility room.

Thanks for the help.
 
The confusing part is that about when to add +15c to temp. I've read that only applies to speedfan, and that CoreTemp or Everest readings are fine. In my case, I hit load of 49C with E4500 3.0ghz @ 1.32v. My Speedfan (latest version), Everest, and CoreTemp all show the same temp, varieable by only a degree or two due to variance. So I'm not so sure about this "add +15c"
 
Add +15c only applies to C2D/C2Q chips with a 100c TjunctionMax and using Speedfan v.4.33. Speedfan v.4.34 beta36 reads the cores on 100c TjunctionMax chips correctly.
 
I see. My CoreTemp 0.95 version reads Tjunction of my E4500 m0 as 85c. Right now at 5% CPU use, it's idling around 19c. I do have watercooling, but that's pretty cool.
