Okay so I just upgraded my video editing rig to a 5820k and did an overclock, and it seems like it went way too easy. Am I missing something here?

I went into bios, changed ratio multiplier to 42 and poof, core temp shows under load it ramps all cores up to 4200 Mhz at a max temp of 60 c.

I didn't adjust any voltages, and core temp shows it still stock at .8250 - speedfan is showing .96V. I left the turbo boost and stepping stuff default. Should I be concerned that my voltage isn't ramping up higher?

MSI X99s Mobo

Did a stress test with intels tuning utility and it passed fine.

Thoughts? Shouldn't the voltage be ramping up when it goes to 4200 from 3300?

I got a 4.4ghertz clock from my i7 5820k. I was really hoping for more, but I got a decent amount.
