Hiya guy's

I've been toying with the idea of overclocking for sometime and have found some settings on a well known website to allow a 4Ghz Overclock on my mobo, which on my board is apparantly very easily achievable... but I'm just a little concerned with temperatures as if I kill anything, I can't afford to replace it at the moment...

I've downloaded Speedfan and at stock speeds it shows my temps as:

Temp 1: 30C
Temp 2: 48C
Core 0: 42C
Core 1: 42C
Core 2: 39C
Core 3: 39C
Core 4: 40C
Core 5: 40C

Now my spec's are:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 @ 2.66Ghz,
Noctua NH-U12P,
Foxconn Renaissance Mobo,
Radeon HD 4870 1024MB,
OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Low-Voltage Triple Channel, Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA-II 32MB Cache,
LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black),
Coolermaster Real Power 620w,
Antec 900-2

Basically what I want to know is are my stock temps anything to be concerned about with me planning to overclock to 4GHz? As to a noob like me they seem a little high!
 
Thank's RizlaKing,

Now I may be having a complete brain fart but when ive looked at the Begginer's guide to Overclocking here and similar guides on other sites they talk about upping the FSB etc... my mobo does not seem to have such an option so it leaves me stumped as to what to do
