First day overclocking

This is my first time overclocking and my specs are, Asus B85-MG R 2.0, 16gb Kingston hyperx 1600mhz, Pentium G3258, Coolermaster 212 evo and sapphire R9 380x. Anyway I started overclocking today after re-reading some articles and re-watching some vids on it and I overclocked my CPU to 4.2ghz @1.2 volts varified by cpu-z. Then i ran cine bench got a 314 on the CPU test and then started prime95. I've had core temp up the entire time and have been running prime 95 for about 2 hours and the max temp under load was 65c on core 0 as core temp says and 57c on core 1 should there be this much gap and my temps are a little higher then that I've seen from others with pentium's so I'm not sure what to think on that. How long should I run prime 95? I've seen some say a couple and others say a day so I'm unsure. Thanks help or suggestions you can give me.
 
The integrated voltage regulator of Haswell processors allows fine grained Vcore adjustment in 0.005 Volt (5 mV) steps. So once you get comfortable with setting Vcore, try fine tuning it until you run into blue-screens. Before you spend too much time stability testing.

Take notes if you can, I always am glad when I did.
T(max) over x minutes of stability test | Cooler RPM | Vcore |
