I just got done building my rig and no overclocking has been done yet. I have a i7 3820 and I ran Linx and the hottest core temps was 53 C lowest core only hit 47 C, is this a good position to start overclocking?

This keyboard is beautiful. Its stylish and very ergonomic. They almost made it perfect if they had of made it with mechanical keys for hardcore gamers. However this was not an over sight for them....

It should be fine yes, but it would be more helpful if you told us what kind of cooling your using? How much rad space, any other items int he loop, etc. Update your rig using rigbuilder so that it's easier for anyone, or just post it.

I built a radiator out of 3 heater cores that I'm going to try to use before I buy one
EK Dual Loop / Dual Bay SPIN Reservoir w/ Flow Meters - Black
I also bought an indigo xtreme for the cpu, but I have not installed it and I'm thinking about getting some other kind of TIM since I don't really want to have to lay my tower on its side to flow the indigo, I was told to get IC diamond, anyone have any thoughts?
Also I didn't take any pictures of the radiator/heatercores before I put them in this oak tower I made to house them and the 300ish CFM fan.
