All right so i have had a stable 4.3ghz overclock on my 4670k since October. So i was thinking i could go further, mainly because i saw a video about overclocking haswell CPUs and that apparently the stock voltage is 1.25v? Because my overclock is this:

and it's above stock speed but below stock voltage? Is my CPU just the 1%? I'd like to hear your opinions.
I also increased the Cache Multiplier to match the Core, wondering if that even does anything performance wise.
BTW, i used BIOS to Overclock but i used Intel Utility to show.

I don't now, but it is not normal what the new prime95 does.
its not realistic any more, so I don't use prime95 to test.
Like I sad before, I run 20 runs itb at very high, then a 45 minutes of linx with avx, (latest version).
Aida for 1 hour, and a couple of cpu benchmarks and some gaming, en then I call it stable and it never failed my.
