Cpu Overclocking Temps + Vcore

[Tinytrex]

Hello, I recently bought a new motherboard to overclock my Cpu ( I5 3570k and Asus P8Z77 V-LK)
I had a shot at overclocking myself and just came here to see if i should change my current settings because temps/vcore is too high.
When I booted my pc and opened up Hwmonitor and Cpu-z these are the temps/vcore.

And this is it "under load" Aka A fps test on Siege which seemed to stress cpus enough to run at/near 100% but I havent done any long stress tests.

Sorry for the windows pop up I had to exit siege fast to show the Cpu usage, only thing you're unable to see is clock speed ( 4.3ghz )


Edit : Images didnt show up? heres Imgur links.

Personally I think it is a little high, but now you have something stable at a reasonable temp, you can slowly reduce the voltage until you become unstable.

In my opinion 1.25v is easily acceptable voltage, i ran my 4670k around 1.32v for 2'ish years daily without any problems & currently 4770k with 1.36v.
Both de-lidded tho.

In short, if your temperatures are good, you dont really need to worry about your voltage (unless they are crazy excessive)

edit: You should overclock with only increasing the multiplier, since increasing bus speed overclocks EVERYTHING else too.
And for stress/temperature testing use software like Aida64, its not as hard on your system as for example prime95, but it will get the job done.

In your opinion is lowering Voltages/Core clock speed necessary? Any suggestions on what to change it if i need to change that is.
Or am I fine as is?
Thanks for reply.

If you are fine with that clockspeed, you can leave it as is, or try to go higher 😉 It's free "power" anyway

my 3570k @ 4.3 is at a shade over 1.1 according to cpu-z, or 1.16 according to core temp.
