How's my OC? (3770k)

I have a 3770k at 4.6 GHz at about 1.27vcore. I'm using an H100i and load temps are mid 60s in prime95.

Using a +.015 voltage offset

LLC is Ultra High.

My question is does the voltage seem okay for the speed, I wanted to go up to 4.7-4.8 but in order to get 4.7 stable I needed about 1.35vcore (temps still fine in low 70s) and I'm not sure if that would be advisable? Haven't even tried for 4.8 because I bet it would require 1.4+

I'd like to think my chip is mediocre or slightly below as I've seen 4.6 at 1.20vcore before and 4.7 at my current voltage for 4.6

So what do you guys think would 4.7 at 1.35 be okay for 24/7? Because my temps I feel are fine right in the mid to low 70s at that voltage and speed. Or should I just leave it at 4.6?

Asus P8z77 v-PRO

Not too shabby for a usable 24/7 OC. Shoot for more if you are just benching, ect.

What do you think about 1.35 on the vcore for 24/7 though? Temps aren't an issue for me at that voltage.

I don't know man. These Intel chips are way to sensitive on voltage than what I pump into my AMD chips. If you don't mind the risk, go for it.

I'm running my 3770K at 1.365v (Fixed Voltage) in the BIOS @ 5ghz 24/7, CPU-Z validation to the right, been running it like that since about October last year. :)
