Have a 2500k that I have run for about 5 years lol @4GHz on stock voltage 
systems passed its sell by date but I don't want to upgrade just yet
so I decided to try and overclock it a bit more ( ideal would be 4.5/4.6 out my comfort zone I'm not really an overclocker)
Right now I am still at stock volts and the system is on prime95 at 4.2 Ghz.
( will leave it over night)
once I start having to adjust volts I am going to be kinda lost so any advice would be appreciated
First question I have is what temps should I be looking at the core temps or the actual CPU temp?
2500k @BeQuiet Dark rock advanced cooler
Gigabyte Z68 UD4 /8GB Corsair Vengeance
MSI Amour 1070 /Xonar Essence STX
256GB+128GB Crucial ssd /Antec P182 case
BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 650W.
