Good morning everyone. I just installed a new H115I corsair aio and I was wondering which type of temps should i be watching out for when OCing? I have an i7 5390k OC to 4.2 ghz right now with target 1V and offset of 125 mv. I installed both corsair link software and real temp 3.7. I heard that cpu core temp is the main thing to watch out for, is this correct? what about cpu package, cpu socket temp (which is displayed on my evga x99 ftw board)? If someone could walk me through it, id really appreciate it. Further specs should be on my signature. Thanks. 

i7 5930K@4.2, x99 evga ftw, H115i AIO, 16gb (4x4) corsair LPX veng@2666mhz, evga 1000w G psu, evga 970gtx ref, 1TB evo samsung SSD, stryker "storm trooper" case.

    Sorry I´m confused. The corsair link does show the cpu package temps and the real temp 3.7 the core temps? Because between this two programs always I can see a 2-3 degree deference face to face
