System Specs

For me, personally, i like to keep things under 85C. I generally go by the rule of 20 degrees lower than TJmax, which for 3770K is 105 C. Wit S B chips, and a 95 C TJmax, then it'd be 75 C...

If you are really concerned about temps though, spend $25 on a warranty that will cover your CPU when overclocking:

Voltage, I would not go over 1.3 V, myself, but I see quite a few users with higher...you should expect 4.4 GHz - 4.8 GHz. Again, that tuning warranty will cover you no matter what.
