Hi guys, I got a i5 3570k overclocked to 4.4 ghz right now and max temps I've seen on prime95 is 73C at 1.256v. It's cooled with an NZXT Phantom case with Noctua NH D14, and an Asrock Z77 Extreme6

ohhhh.
ok, i am sure if its a decent guide it would tell you that every chip is different but it may have neglected to mention that finding your lowest voltage @ stock is important at finding your baseline to start. the lower your voltage to start, the better the potential at a higher overclock before temps start getting too high (above 80c-85c).

but its no bad thing to find some generally good settings and give them a try. your temps are pretty good, so you may want to see how much higher in clockspeed you can get before you need to increase the Vcore. i'm hoping you can get 4.6 with out a problem and maybe 4.7 at the same Vcore. but not knowing what you started with - 4.6 could be it.

its all about keeping the Vcore low with ivy ...

I looked at the ASrock how to overclock guide for ivy bridge and I did those exact settings he said and when i stress tested it with prime95 thats the voltage that shows on hw monitor.

Alright so keeping with the same settings I have. I can only get it to 4.5 ghz right now fully stable with Vcore level 2, if I increase the clock speed it will just bsod on prime95 telling me to increase the vcore. Prime95 full stress test shows temps ranging from 65-70C max. I want at least 4.8, could anyone help me in what I have to do? All the BSOD's tell me to increase the vcore which is the load line calibration right? Help!

Yes, increase the voltage a little more to see if you can gain some stability. As stated, no two CPUs are exactly the same. There are over 375 million transistors in an Ivy Bridge CPU along with millions of other "things" so to expect them all to be working properly is overly optimistic to say the least.

Slowly increase the voltage and monitor your temps. Unfortunately I do not know what the recommended maximum limit is.
