I use d MSI Control Center, I dont know whether it is accurate, because AIDA64 says another thing, like 2 degrees less than what MSI CC reports. and even, when i touch d heatsink, it feels very very cool.

What are your load temps? That is the most important thing. I would use hwmonitor for temps and either Intel Burn Test or prime95 for load test. I'm unsure what the i5 2500K's max temp is, but staying under 65C is ideal for all processors.
If you have a lot of airflow and you are getting 40C idle it could be an issue, but even then not that big of one. Mine is constantly at 39C for idle but I also run a very low CFM low db build.

When I overclocked my CPU till 4,5GHz it gave me 64 degrees under 100% torture in AIDA64 extreme test. And I dont have great airflow, just one cooler in the fron, and my case is opened on d side panel

Never test with an open sidepanel unless that is how you intent to permanently leave the computer. Those temps don't seem horrible for a 4.5Ghz overclock honestly. Did you give it any V-core? If so, sounds about right.

This is done with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ (Push+Pull Nexus Real Silent 120mm) With Arctic cooling MX-4. Load temp is up around 55c. Vcore at 1.4v. How you apply the Thermal Paste makes a huge difference. On my Cooler Master Hyper 212+ I applied a line of thermal grease directly on each of the heat pipes about half the length of the mounting surface.
