Been playing around with my OC again, trying to reach 4.8 at a reasonable level but cant seem to get it.

I'm pretty happy with my current clock, but was wondering what others think in terms of temp/volts.

Settings for 4.7Ghz

Ai Overclock Tuner: Manual
BLCK/PCIE Frequency: 100.0
Turbo Ratio: By All Cores
By All Cores: 48
Internal PLL Voltage: Disabled
Memory Frequency: use the rated speed for your memory
DRAM Timing Control: use the rated timings for your memory
EPU Power Saving MODE: Disabled


CPU Ratio: Auto
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology: Enabled
Turbo Mode: Enabled

VRM Frequency: Manual
VRM Fixed Frequency Mode: 350
Phase Control: Extreme
Duty Control: Extreme
CPU Current Capability: 140%
CPU Voltage: Offset Mode
Offset Mode Sign: +
CPU Offset Voltage: 0.040V
DRAM Voltage: use the rated voltage for your memory
VCCSA Voltage: Auto
VCCIO Voltage: Auto
CPU PLL Voltage: Auto
PCH Voltage: Auto

Turbo Mode: Enabled
CPU C1E: Enabled
CPU C3 Report: Disabled
CPU C6 Report: Disabled

Temps hitting 70C during LinX, so a fair bit under the limit.
1.38 Core voltage max, iirc 1.4 is the limit for day to day OC's so i dont think its too bad, been trying to reduce offset but nothing under 0.040 will remain stable.

Any suggestions on how to keep it stable with less volts?
Would others be happy running this 24/7?
 
***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***

- Do not exceed 1.425v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Aim to keep temperatures below 70c underload if at all possible
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher than 1.60v could limit lifespan of the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!

So, you're within limits seems a decent overclock and decent temps. So I'd be happy with that :)

Might expect slightly better from the H70, but during stress tests you tend to generate far more heat than day-day use anyway

Ah 1.425, even better than. I'll stick with it for now.

The H70 needs new paste as there was minimal left on after i changed some last time, but didnt get around to replacing it, but will be done soon.

Any suggestions to change settings to lower volts and remain stable welcome :P
