Well, I was sure to thoroughly clean the base of the heatsink of hairs, and I did apply quite a nice pea-sized amount of thermal paste before "smooshing" it down, in fact I did this twice yet it doesn't seem to have remedied my problem.

Geez what's wrong with hitting 65 degrees at 4.5Ghz of a CM212? That seems within normal range I would say. Maybe you can get it stable with a little less voltage?. Either way, with my Noctua, I bet I couldn't do very much better than that. I turned off hyperthreading on my 2700k and still go over 70 at 4.7Ghz.
Also, if you hit 65 in 5 minutes, it doesn't mean your temps are going to keep going up... unless your case has poor circulation. I hit 75 degrees in 20 seconds, but peak at about ~81 degrees.
Most will say that you are safe in hitting 75 degrees (some say 80, some even say 85) during a stress test since you aren't typically going to reach that during normal use and if you do occasionally reach it during normal use, you are still far away from really damaging your chip. (Just be sure your case fans can keep up.) Like I said, my CPU peaks at just over 80 in a stress test, but rarely reaches 65 during normal use.

I was wondering if I may have been over exaggerating the problem but, I just wanted to make sure, thanks, I guess I won't be hitting those temps during normal usage, sorry to make such a big deal, but like I stated before, this was my first over clock, and in fact, my first custom rig, so I just wanted to make sure, thanks again to all that replied, have a nice day!

He's getting these temps with 1.28V at 4.0 GHz, not 4.5. I would think his temps would be in the upper 50s, not the mid 60s.
Either way, though: if this is the best thermal performance that can be achieved, then let the overclocking begin and let's see where it goes!
It's like advanced alien technology! :)

I see...I guess I should be going through the entire original post
. One thing I would say about that is 1.28V is quite high for 4.0Ghz is it not? Even still, I guess that doesn't quite explain the high temps. Maybe there is something wrong with the cooler itself?|

Pea size is too big on the 1155 CPU's they are very small. Use 65-75% of a pea size. Too much thermal paste is just as detrimental to temperatures as too little.

Don't offer advice if you're not going to give decent advice.
Do not use auto voltage, it will give much more than required and you should always set it manually to as low as you can go while remaining stable when OC'ing.

For a low overclock auto will be fine. I agree it uses more than it should but 4.0 is nothing like 4.7.
