I have overclocked my i5 to 4.2Ghz, just by turning the clock ratio to x43, and leaving the Voltages and everything else stock. I ran Prime95 with no problems, with ~70C on all cores at 100% load for around 2 hours.
Should I worry about Voltages and whatnot? Or am I good?

At a voltage of 1.38v you can overclock it to 5 Ghz. You should be fine the way you've got it set up now, depending on what voltage the i5 has stock. I use i7 so I'm not too sure
Reply here or PM me and I'll be able to tell you depending on what voltage you're using right now
Oh btw, don't really try to OC to 5Ghz with that voltage because depending on your whole setup, it can become extremely unstable.
And if your Prime95 stresstest came out like that it should be fine. Always be careful when overclocking though! Especially if you're new to it
