I've overclocked my Intel i5 3570 (non-k) CPU to 4.4Ghz and finally got it stable yesterday (thought it was stable for ages until one game told me otherwise), after I raised the voltage a bit more. I want to try to push to 4.5Ghz but I'm not completely sure if that's a good idea. I used the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to push my CPU past 4Ghz, as it had problems going past 4Ghz even though the turbo boost is only like 3.8Ghz. I raised the BCLK multipliers in the BIOS to 42, 41, 41 and 40, and raised the CPU clock from 100 to 105(it says 104.9897 in Intel ETU), giving me a clock speed of 4.41Ghz.
I raised the voltage by +50mV from stock which was necessary to stop my computer from having problems at 4.4Ghz (had to raise it from +35mV even after Prime95 and Intel Burn Test passed, with my monitor black screening and sound looping after 25 mins of Saints Row 3, when there were no problems with no other games). My temps are 67 degrees max with Intel Burn Test and mid-high 50s while gaming.
Is it a good idea to push the voltage more so that I may be able to raise the CPU clock past 105 and achieve a 4.5Ghz (or more) overclock or what?
