In this situation there's no need to run any stress testing as the auto voltage overclocking is only an illusion of being overclocked to 4.7ghz anyway, and it will throttle down to stay stable, so 4.7ghz is only realistic at idle, once heavy load enters the picture the throttling begins.

Run CPU-Z to monitor what your clock is actually real time doing under load, then you should understand what I'm saying.

This really depends on the board doesn't it? I know Asus board OC well on auto voltage...

Best solution

Well nothing is set in stone these days!

Especially since some have BIOS flashed their original Sandy Bridge M/Bs with Ivy Bridge BIOS flashes.

Which is great for Ivy but sucks for Sandy!

If you are getting contrary results, what does CPU-Z report that your clock is doing under load?

If it's say clocked to 4.7ghz under stress testing have CPU-Z running and watch the clock speed and see if it changes?

If it does not change, please post your specs?

CPU-Z Says 4.7GHZ and 1.302 Volts under full load.

SPECS

Board: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H
Processor: Intel i5 2500K
Graphics: 6870 Crossfire
RAM:12GB DDR3-1333

I'm curious, since you bought a Z77 M/B, why didn't you buy an Ivy Bridge CPU?

Did you already have the 2500K?

The 3rd Gen did not exist when I bought it. So, I figured out the manual VCORE and it is stable and 1.34. and 75C MAX Is that still okay?

75C is fine.

But I believe the Z77 came out JUST before Ivy. So its possible. Just odd.
