Am I doing a good job at overclocking the i7 4790k

So there are the results

I ran 10 minutes of OCCT linpack and Intel Burn test on the standart setting.
Cpu temps where about 75-79C and it is stable.
I will try and get the voltage down a bit but I'm not sure about stability at 1.24v
 


If that's all the stability testing you've done you're not stable, those stress testing programs do not test the GPU and Audio load on the system, you need to continue by running some type of benchmarks like 3DMarks Firestrike, then do some gaming and when it crashes, up the CPU voltage another notch and retest after each crash.

Once you can run the benchmarks and game without any crashes then you can claim stability.

Edit: I see you have another thread going, my advice to you is find a guide relating to your hardware and study it!

Learn what to do first! Then do it!

The worst thing you can do is overclock with a little bit of overclock knowledge, that you don't even understand!

Learn what you are doing before you mess something up and begin the RMA adventure!

 


After playing battlefield 4 in a 64 player map I found the cpu is only stable at 1.27v and i think I'm good there. I I have any more issues I will just downclock to 4.6ghz.
