im using an asus maximus vi formula mobo with i7 4770k cpu and corsair h110 closed loop cooler.

cpu frequency: 4.4ghz on all 4 cores
cpu core voltage: 1.248v on all 4 cores
dram voltage: 1.504v
pch voltage: 1.059v
cpu temp: 30-32C
motherboard temp: 26C
cpu power consumption is at 22 watts.

You'll need to run a Stress Test to know if things are really stable, those seem like idle temps (Although still very good).

Download either:

- Prime95, usually the go-to for Stress Testing, it will, like a few others, let you know of any failures along the way.
- OCCT
- Intel Burn Test, despite the name, not technically an official software from Intel. Can't say as I've ever used it, but evidently it's the most aggressive.
I suppose Furmark is also an option. I'm not keen on it personally though.

Monitor all of your temps and frequencies using one of the popular software's for doing so. CoreTemp, HWMonitor, SpeedFan or CPU-Z. Each have their own...

Your overclock is looking pretty darn nice tbh. I'd be willing to bet that you could push slightly higher with the H105 too.
Run the test for as long as you feel comfortable with. 2 hours is usually the recommended figure, but it varies. Some people like to run it for at least 24 hours, but then, some people also like to use their computer from time to time.
