Are these voltages normal for an i5 3570K overclock?

I was able to hit 4.4GHz with a +0.035V offset and this is perfectly stable.

However to get to 4.5GHz I need to have a +0.080V offset to get it stable.

This is a large jump in voltages needed to get from 4.4GHz to 4.5 so am I doing something wrong or is this to be expected?

Thanks a ton,
Dan.

As the speed for CPUs gets higher, you need a LOT more voltage to keep it stable. For instance, my 1700X is stable at 3.8GHz on 1.33v, but until I get to 1.35 I can't get 3.9 stable. If I lowered the clock speed down further I could get a lot less voltage (maybe 1.1 for stock or lower). It's the nature of overclocking.
