How did I do?

I just finished a rough overclock. I managed 4.7 on stock voltage (1.25) and passed a 3-hour stability test. (I'll run a longer one this weekend when I can monitor it)

My temps never went above 70, and averaged around 65*C. Would you consider this a good overclock, and if not how can I improve?

 

PS- My build is in my signature.

 

As always, thanks in advance!

that is a good overclock but it's not required...i would lock all cores to 4.4ghz and start lowering the voltages...keep overclocking for later when the CPU will be phasing out and will actualy require the OC to keep up with your next GPU or most likely the one after...

That's an excellent clock for the voltage, no reason not to push it higher, especially with those temps.
