Case: Cooler Master HAF 922
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: Intel i5 4670K (3.4GHz Stock / Currently 4.1GHz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 (16GB)
GPU: MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming
Storage / Peripherals: 1x HDD in lower bay, 1x SSD in upper bay with the CD/DVD Drive
Current Cooling Setup: CPU: Zalman CNPS9900Max, 2x 200mm Intake (Side"Aftermarket" and Front"Stock"), 1x 200mm Exhaust (Top"stock"), and a 140mm Exhaust (Rear"stock fan")
Current Temperatures range from about 40*C to 59*C depending on the activity, dual boxing reaches up to 58*C+, while single games stay near 40*C. Running IBT at high settings pushes temperatures to 71*C - 77*C, and Prime95 can hit highs in the 70s or low 80s (maximum ever reached was 82 after 30 minutes).
*If you missed any details, please let me know!*

To begin, I want to check if these temperatures are typical for an overclock with an air cooler or if I should reapply my Arctic Silver 5. If so, would it be advantageous to install a Corsair H80i with two Corsair SP120s and mount them on the rear exhaust? I’m planning to aim for four Cooler Master JetFlo 120 Red LED fans, two intakes on the sides, and two exhausts at the top—any thoughts on that?

Secondly, I’m only applying 1.18V to the CPU core, but I see others with lower temps and higher clocks using more voltage. Should I consider increasing my bus speed, or is it a sign of insufficient cooling?

Thirdly, if I raise the bus speed, can I secure RAM stability at 2400 (I’ve tried higher speeds at 105 vs 100 and got better results)? Is there a chance my memory might be under stress?

Dertylol provided detailed information about their current setup and questions regarding performance optimization. They shared their motherboard, CPU, memory, graphics card, storage configuration, cooling system, temperatures during various tasks, and even suggested potential upgrades like Corsair H80i fans or adjusting bus speeds. They also mentioned concerns about voltage settings and the feasibility of further overclocking.
