Hi all. I just built this desktop a week ago and was looking to overclock a bit (otherwise why buy the unlocked cpu?). Either way, I feel i achieved a stable setup. Though I really don't have time to run extremely long tests. I did however use aida64 and intel burn test.
Some info:
I started at 4.2ghz @1.25v(override) and it ran fine, hadn't used burn test yet.
I went to 4.4 @ 1.25 and aida ran fine, max temps around 65. Ran burn test got scared of the temps going above 81c so i stopped it.
Lowered voltage to 1.2v and blue screened around 6th run of burn test
Bumped voltage up to 1.21 and that's where i am currently sitting. burn test finished with a max temperature of 80c which if I've been reading correct info, is still fairly safe for a stress test.
(i am running standard on the burn test, Not sure if I need to put it to max to get a real test out of it).
Aida ran fine as usual.
I guess i just want some input on the results to see I'm safe with this setup. i don't see how normal use would stress the cpu as much as that burn test did, I really don't do a ton of CPU straining tasks.

according to coretemp my idle temps are anywhere from 22-26c.
and lastly, if this does seem like a fairly stable setup, is there any other tweaks you would recommend to further increase stability.
