So after OCing my I5 2500k to 4.4ghz i got 71c max on a core while testing with Primer 95 and for example didn't go over 68c when playing GTA V. Is this safe in the long run?
Though I typically don't recommend auto overclocking your system, if you are certain your voltage never exceeds 1.336 then you are fine. Max voltage for your cpu is 1.52 volts.
You've found the right person. What manual voltage did you set the motherboard at?
I'm currently running a 2500k clocked at 5ghz using 1.52v and a multiplier of 50.
My temps reach 81c under full load.
Well, my motherboard only allows me to offset the voltage and overclock with Turbo mode.
I did set the multiplier to 44, Offset the Vcore by -0.100v and added Voltage to Turbo by +0.232v. This setting seems to be stable so far.
I get 1.336v in CPUz on full load.

I've been running stock settings for the past 5 years. I recently upgraded my graphics card to a gtx 1070 and felt the need to overclock on my p8z77-v motherboard, to reduce the bottleneck.
