My current specs:
intel core i7-3770k 3.5ghz ivybridge overclocked to 4.2ghz
MSI z77a-gd65 Motherboard
EK H30 Water cooling Kit
OCZ 750WATT 80 plus bronze power supply
4x4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHZ RAM,

Ok so currently my computer is overclocked using the 1sec OC Genie 2 button, its is running at 4.2ghz

( this button just does everything for you, therefore I have not messed with any frequencies or voltages )

here is my setup:

Here is a picture of the current settings in the Bios:

I have ran some tests using the OCCT program, here are the current temperatures & results:

You can see the current voltages, frequencies from the screenshots

So can you guys please help me out and advise me on if i can over-clock further considering those temperatures and results...

Whats the maximum overclock i can get on this system do you think?
Whats the safezone for the tempretures my cpu should be at?
Are my current tempretures ok?

I would be REALLY happy if you guys can help me out, as this is my first build and I dont want to burn anything out. :)
 
You can definitely overclock further, oc genie will be fairly overzealous with that voltage for 4.2 (it was for me anyway) so I would say you could get a couple 100Mhz more at that voltage and you have plenty of room to increase it as your temps are fine.
 
got my system stable at 4.6ghz prime stable (14hours)
