What do you guys think i can do to get a better overclock i dont want to higher the voltage because my CPU gets to 85 C and i dont want to go higher with temps maybe there is something that i dont know, i cant get it stable when i raise the baseclock.

 

Here is the CPU-Z http://valid.x86.fr/ykreix

You're at 1.3V, which is about the maximum voltage i would use, and you've hit almost 4.8 GHz, i would be satisfied with the OC, and make sure that your cooler is properly seated etc. to ensure the best possible temperatures.

When in doubt: C4

i'd say more towards the bad side, because that is quite hot..

 

Edit: According to the intel website, the recommended maximum temperature is 74 Degrees

These programs are fine,
Personally, i would dial the OC a little back, to get some lower temperatures. 

Try 4.6GHz, the voltage drop might be pretty big, and the temps might go down quite a bit.

 

But do you have proper airflow in your case?

What speeds are your fans running at?

When in doubt: C4

I have 2 NF-F12 top intake because they will later get on the rad and a 200 mm Phanteks in the front

I'd probably say that you've reached your CPUs max. I'd be happy with 4.8ghz

Was just wondering maybe there was a setting i didnt knew or something

The fans run on max speed on 100 % load

top as intake?

How are the fans on your CPU cooler situated?

I would make sure to put 2 fans on the CPU cooler, and keep the front intake, and use the top as exhaust (heat rises)

Doing this you ensure some good airflow in your case.

In an optimal config the air inside your case won't be warmer than finger warm when your computer have been stressed for 10-15 minutes.

When in doubt: C4

And theres also a 200 mm in the front

 

this is the best setup i think i can achieve with the number of fans i have

I can't view the image for some reason...

But you have two intakes in the top, and a 200mm in the front.

Are your CPU fans blowing air to the left?

yes they  are
