Hello guys

I am currently in the process of overclocking my i5-3570k on an AsRock z77 Extreme6.

I have it stable @ 4,2 GHz with a fixed voltage of 1.1v

But what do I do now? Should I just leave it at a fixed voltage, or what is the best way to proceed?

I should note that 4,2 GHz was my initial aim.
 
Solution
Nope, not at all, fixed voltage is fine if you want to use it. You can also enable Intel Speed Step to have it automatically drop voltage/clock speed when idling or not doing very demanding tasks.
