Hi all, so last week after upgrading to the Hyper 212 EVO, I finally decided to overclock my chip. So with this 3570k i was able to first push it to 4.2 with an offset of -0.065 and it was stable. Then I decided to go further up to 4.4 with a voltage offset of -0.010. My PC is running the stress test now and its been stable for about 2 hours. So far the highest temp was 78 degrees and max core voltage is 1.208.
I'm new to this type of overclocking and my question is, is this OC considered safe and stable since I have actually under-volted the chip and managed to push it this far. Also at Idle I've got temps of around 35-40 degrees celcius, is this normal?
Thanks
edit-
also in the bios ive set the load line calibration from the default "auto" to extreme which is the highest setting. Having this setting on extreme is the only way for the OC to be stable. Should I put it back on auto and restart the OC? or is having it on extreme ok?
