Hello

I have a i5-4670k now running at 4.4ghz what i believe is stable, 3 hours of prime95, 10x10 runs in IBT with no errors, bluescreens or shutdowns. Also been playing games like Ghost Recon: Wildlands for hours with no problems. Is this considered stable?

Also, I have it running on 1.160v, which seems really low.. is that normal?
For some reason it bumps up the voltage 1.176v from what I can see in CPU-Z, even though I don't have it on adaptive mode or anything like that, anything I should be concerned about?

Also is there any point going higher, lets say 4.6ghz?

Thanks in advance.

If the temps are below 60c it is stable. It is an annoying fact that when you set a voltage in the bios the cpu will still exceed. I have seen multiple tech reviewers like Jaystwo cents mention this as they overclocked their systems. There may be no reason to oc the system further if you do not want to set the graphic settings higher, and you you have already met or exceeded the max refresh rate of your display.
