Hi guys, I've read up a bit on overclocking over the past week and I've decided to go ahead and do it :). so I've set my windows power plan to balanced and gone into my bios and done a overclock to 4.3 (I left the vcore on auto).

I'm currently using prime95 to stress my computer (I've been stressing for about an hour as of posting this) and I'm getting temps between 58-62 on all 4 cores. Is that all good?

The only issue I see is that while i'm stress testing the max volts my motherboard is giving is 1.092v. From what I've read this seems a little low.

Here's some extra info
Gigabyte Z77-G1-SNIPER-M3 Motherboard
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Cool, I know you should really stress test for around 24 hours but if I was to do it without any issues for 6 hours is that enough for a stress test?

Also I did try to use the dynamic setting in my bios (tried to boost it up a little) but it won't let me. To confirm I pressed enter on vcore and options popped up to enable me to change the dynamic settings.

If your temps are stable for 3-4 hours, you should be good. Just to be sure, run hwmonitor (HERE) for a few days in the background with the logging function on. Run your rig as you normally would making notes of what you are doing and for how long. Check the log and compare temps when you change tasks.
