Hi, New to the whole OC thing. Just wondering if my voltages are safe and temps are ok? I'm running prime 95 version 26.6 on the small fft test. Only been running 20 mins so far though. Too early to assume it is stable? Picture link of results.

Edit: for some reason on realbench it went up to 1.2vcore at 4.8ghz after an hour stress test. is this still good and why would the prime95 one be so much lower?

Thank you.

That voltage is fine. Some loads will stress the CPU in different ways requiring more or less voltage. Also prime95 is incredibly stressing. Even if it fails prime95 at some point it might be perfectly stable at all other times. My 7600k at 4.7ghz will fail prime95 after an hour oh so but has never blue screened or crashed anything else.

Dude ur results are a really good. I have my cpu at 1,4 Volts and cant get passt the 4,6 Ghz on Prime95 V26.6 T.T. Prime95 its fine for stress testing the CPU I been using it 4 years and if it pass it then u have a Rock solid OC. What board r u using?
