So i finally decided to take the plunge and OC to above 4.2Ghz. Stress tested for 6 hours at 4.4Ghz with 1.36v, no BSOD but i fine the cpu voltage is a bit too high. Is there anything wrong with the OC. I am on a Hyper 212 EVO with 2 SP120 in push/pull. I plan on getting a H110iGTX later on this year

As long as you're system can run stable and you don't need to overvolt to much to keep it stable, you should be be fine.

how much would be considered a overvolt?

we cant tell you if there good, as long as there is no crash then its fine, every chip is different so we cant tell you to dial in these settings for 900GHz.

I would drop the voltage a little each time and stress test for stability until you get the lowest stable voltage possible while on a H100igtx that would be somewhat still safe, I would keep a close eye on temps.

well considering your system is still set to auto on the overvoltage, you should be okay; you're system will automatically choose the best voltage. But when setting it manually it depends on your cpu and I don't have much experience overclocking Intel cpus, so I can't say for sure what would be to much, but I believe if you have to go over 1.4 on the Vcore for Intel cpu's, then you're pushing it.

Maybe a bit too much voltage but not bad for a hyper 212

1.36v for 4.4GHz... Try to shoot for a higher clockspeed at that voltage. Unless your i5 is like the 4670k @Lanoi had. :P

That voltage is pretty high for that clock speed, not to mention for the 212 evo. Try reducing the voltage to 1.2 and increase slowly if it bsods. Set llc to level 3 or so, set cache ratio and cache voltage manually to stock settings and go from there.

So now, intel extreme tuning utility is recommending to set both my turbo boost short power max and power max to 0, what to do?
