i5 3570k Overclock results fine?

[Paulw]

So i am new to overclocking and not really sure what I should be looking for. I was able to get 4.5 and run Prime 95 for an hour with no errors and only +0.012 turbo voltage. I don't want a crazy overclock as I don't have the best cooling. Are these temps and voltages normal?

My setup:

• 
  i5 3570k
  Hyper 212 Evo
  Noctua NT-H1 Paste

Overclock settings:

• 
  4.5 Ghz
  Offset: 0.005v
  Turbo: 0.012v

Results

• 
  CPU-Z Core Voltage: 1.224
  Idle Temp: 30C
  Prime 95 Max Load Temp: 74C

Yes looking good. I am presuming normal load temps on the CPU do not go over 70C.

Based on the information you provided it seems like you have a golden chip and your other components must be good.

Based on your idle temps your room must be cool.

My 3570k had an idle temp of 35-40 C with a comparable cooler and my max OC was 4.2 Ghz

4.5 with a load voltage of 1.224 is impressive for that chip.

Yeah I noticed after looking around that these voltages are quite low compared to other people. I will have to do more tests and see how it holds up but hopefully it is because I have a good chip. And yes my room is cool I'm freezing

Yes looking good. I am presuming normal load temps on the CPU do not go over 70C.

Yes I did some gaming on Arma 3 and ran a benchmark in Cinebench. The max temp recorded was 61C which I think is fine?

For that overclock it is great! Most people are nipping 1.4 volts Vcore to get their chips there.

What motherboard, CPU and PSU are you using?
