Forum Overclocking : CPUs 2600k first timer

Word :    Username :           
 

Hey guys, I just got my 2600k a while ago along with the rest of my new rig's parts. Including a Hyper212 Evo.
So it's basically my first time overclocking a cpu. So I adjusted the Vcore to 1.300v, set the turbo multipliers all to 45 and disabled EIST and C1E (I think those are the terms :??: ). So did I do it right? Any good? I'm running prime 95 right now and my highest temp. reading was 78c on core # 3. Note, that I have no case fans, just my hyper 212 evo and its 120mm fan. Should I be worried about the hot air that's exhausting out of my open case or is it a good thing? I didn't put on the side panel because the cooler won't fit.
