Is this score/temps/overclock any good?

I got the 7870 MSI hawk edition GPU. In a coolermaster HAF x case are these temps normal? Can i overclock this further fora a24/7 use. my CPU and GPU overclocks will run 24/7 just to let you know.



My 3570k is OC at 4.2 GHZ, prime 95 for 10 minutes around 60 degrees. Never goes above 65, i just pressed the OC genie button on MSI Z77 power mobo, 4.2Ghz is enough.

okay lol :), cheers fellas!, I cannot believe overclocking is sooooooo goood!, i got a increase of 30FPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in guild wars 2, dont know about BF3, im hoping a constant 60FPS+ on ultra because I was getting around 50-60fps ULTRA with no AA, on standard clocks
 
GW2 is very cpu dependant so that's why you'd get a bigger increase on that.

My eye sight isn't what it used to be and I can't really see any gpu temperature monitors up? You have the stress test (Recommend heaven over Furmark, lots of reports of it killing gpus) afterburner is up which can monitor temps but you have it displaying the clock speeds.
 
Furmark is a GPU killer (makes it go very very hot quickly) so please don't use that. Like Defy said, "use Heaven" or even 3DMark11.
 
So what are the overclocks good for this card?, i got this card so i can overclock it and still have very good temps. i dont want the card to go above 65 degrees.
