Are these temperatures acceptable? The i7 4790k running at 4.7 MHz and 1.250v.

I was wondering if these temperatures are okay. My cooler is a Hyper 212 Evo. I tried with aida64, cinebench, and some in-game tests... The gaming temps were around 68, sometimes reaching 72-73, but only briefly. I'm new to overclocking and just started from 4.4, 4.5, etc. It's surprising that with the stock turbo boost I was getting 1.279v at 4.4MHz. I have a question: am I doing something wrong for dropping the voltage and increasing the speed? Any advice would be appreciated!
Seems fine, always aiming for the best output level possible with the available voltage and temperatures.

Tradesman1 shares their experience and concerns about overclocking. They mention stability issues under certain conditions, like running on AIDA64 for a short time without overheating. They are cautious due to being new to the process and plan to get a water cooling unit soon. They seek advice to avoid damaging their PC.
Tradesman1 could try either option, depending on whether the cooler arrives. I plan to lower it to 4.5 or 4.6 and wait until the cooler is installed. I was really worried when the screen went black, wondering if the PSU might not be enough for the overclock and the R9 390X could be the reason. I tested it during the day and it never shut down. Now I’m confused about the turbo boost settings—when the voltage was 1.279v at startup, does that mean I should have begun there? I’ve heard about motherboard overvoltage, but I’m still lost.
Tradesman1 suggests monitoring the cooler performance and possibly checking for newer BIOS or MBOO drivers. They ask which of the two water cooling kits to choose between the Corsair Hydro Series H75 and H60, with a budget of 100 dollars, considering the options and potential improvements.
