The Core i7-2600 can't be overclocked very much, anyways. I'm not sure about the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that locked processors like the i7-2600 can only be clocked to about 300 MHz higher than normal (0.3 GHz). Only processors with "K" in their model name (like the i7-2600K) can be overclocked high enough to possibly damage themselves.

In that case, you should edit your signature.

Anyways, 4.3 GHz is a reasonably safe clock.
