I5 2500K to 4.5 Ghz - How did I do?

[ARchamps]

Hey guys,

Here is my first shot at revving up to 4.5 Ghz. I set my voltage to 1.35V. The average temperature after about an hour on Prime95 was between 58 - 62 C. See the screenshot below. Any tips on getting it cooler? Lower voltage resulted in BSOD. I may try re-applying thermal paste (I used the one that came with the 212+).

Thanks!

your temps are good but your voltages are a tad high for that speed. make sure you have llc to 1 and enabled pll overvolting. those easily killed my overclocks from stable to not booting.

Just do what cbrunnem said and try lower your voltages if it's not stable just leave it at 1.35. I've been trying to overclock my friends PC for weeks but I could only get mine stable at the same voltage as yours.
