Hi all,
First time registered user here with my first post. I've been consulting (lurking) this great resource for useful information for years now, said info led to the overclock of my CPU. She's running well to this day, not bad for a chip purchased in 2010.
Now, let's get down to brass tacks: I'm looking for a relatively low-voltage OC with stability in mind. I currently have my i5 750 OC'd to 3675 MHz @ 1.184 volts.
This is done on air cooling with a Hyper 212 EVO, front / rear fans, and a two-fan GPU residing in a Cooler Master HAF 912. I'll be able to install two more fans more once my order arrives.
When I stream PlanetSide 2, the system cores are in the low 60 degrees C range after about 2 hours of streaming, PS2 stresses the cores about 70-80% regularly and the GPU around 50%.
How much volts do you think I might have to send to the CPU to achieve 3.8 to 4 GHz and still be good with Air Cooling? I know Lynnfield makes for a spectacular overclocking platform, mine is undervolted and it's running at 3.67 GHz, quite amazing chips for sure.
I like where I'm at right now, though knowing I have headroom with a low voltage would be great knowledge to have for the future. Below is my CPU-Z.
Thanks for any assistance and have a great summer!

I'd try taking it higher, go slow, with the Lynnfield and many others, you will often seem to hit a wall, somewhere up the line and then it may take a healthier increase to reach the next level. You have plenty of headroom available so take it on up, just monitor your temps. I'd guess 4+ is definitely possible
I'll see about pushing up to 4 GHz, I think that would be a sweet spot for a Lynnfield! Thanks for your response, I'll tinker around a bit.
