i2500k Temps Stock - Overclocked?

So, I just built my new PC, and just testing it out. I have not tried to overclock it yet.

i2500k
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
Corsair A50 Cooler
8GB RAM

Idle temps are around 28-32c. When I load it up with prime95, I get up to about a max of 52 on one of the cores. Running IntelBurnTest 2.52 at Max 5 times I got up to a max of 59 on one of the cores.

Are these good temps? Just verifying I have my cooler on properly and system stability at stock.

What are the max temps I should see if I attempt an overclock to 4.5Ghz?

Thanks in advance!
 
Intel says 85C at TJunction. Theoretically, if it's getting too hot the CPU should drop its clockspeed anyway to prevent damage. I try to keep my cores below 75 because that seems to be the majority opinion but, TBH, I haven't seen any convincing evidence that that majority opinion is backed up by facts. I just do it out of an abundance of caution.
