Hello, this is my first post on this forum, although I have used this forum as a resource quite a lot, so I thought it'd be appropriate to post this here.
First off, I'm running:
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
i5 2500k
CM Hyper 212 Evo
I'm new to CPU overclocking, but have read a lot about it and after buying a new cooler (the 212 evo) to replace the old intel one decided to do a small overclock partly for fun and partly to gain a few FPS in a couple of the more CPU intensive games I own. I currently have the set up with a 42x Multi, 100.00 Mhz base clock and I'm using an offset voltage of -0.020v, which has brought my voltage under prime95 to 1.248v max at 4200 Mhz. The maximum temp I've had on 3 of the cores is 59C, again with prime95 running and the idle temps are below 30C.
Everything else is stock in the bios, and I just wanted to check that these voltages are ok. I'm not too worried about getting the voltages as low as they can go, as I don't from what I've read see the need in having them any lower, as advantages would be very minimal, although I would like to make sure they're not stupidly high for this clock speed. Any help/advice appreciated, and I can give extra information if it's needed
