i5 3570k Overclock just a quick question for peace in mind.

Hey guys, just a quick question.

Got i5 3570k, 4,5 GHz overclock, 1,220 VCore

Max temperatures - 64, 72, 68, 65.. All Celsius.

Prime95 ran for about two hours.

I just messed with multiplier and voltage in BIOS. MOBO Asus Maximus V Formula.

Cooling is Corsair H100i, running with two fans on balanced mode.

Can I call my system stable?
It is my first overclock, so that is why I ask.

Thank you so much

Two hours of Prime95 doesn't really indicate that its stable then again a 24hr run doesn't either. The only way to tell is by doing normal everyday tasks such as gaming, web browsing and having several programs open at once I've had long Prime95 runs and IBT runs pass later to only find out it wasn't when playing a game. Other than that your temps look good.

Prime95 crashed after 3 hours, so it's not as stable as I thought.

I have mine set at 4.5ghz with around 1.26 volts. Somewhere around there. 1.22 seems a little low to be stable at that OC.
