I OC'd my i5 3570K by just going into the BIOS and adjusting Turbo Boost's multiplier to 43 and leaving everything else on auto (because I didn't want to mess with the voltages). After booting up, I ran all the diagnostic tools along with Intel Burn Test at maximum for 10 passes.
These are the results of IBT:

Now I'm running Prime95 for 12 hours on blend. I'm currently 2 hours and 33 minutes in and the lowest temperatures I've seen so far is 52C and the highest is 67C on the second core. To get a better estimate on the temperature at load during it the summer time (because it's currently 71F in my room during the Winter), I'd probably add 1 or 2C to that. Also, the Vcore is currently running at 1.092V and the VTT is at 1.068V.
Do you think that the temperatures are good at these volts? My mobo is a Gigabyte Z77 UD3H and my cooling system is an H80 with push/pull.
Also, do you think the OC will bottleneck my HD7970?
