Bit of a noob when OC'ing, Does this sound about right?

2500k @ 4.6ghz (46x100)
core 1.300V
Corsair A50

Idle 29-34c, Load (gaming) 52-60c, Prime95 63-69c...

Ram is down from 1.65v to 1.50v, If I change it from 9-9-9-24 it just BSOD's

Cheers
 
All looks fine to me m8, its a good start if your new to OC'ing.

I'm promoting you semi noob :D

I'm in a similar position tbh - overclocking to 4.5GHz myself but during Intel Burntest at max stress my core volts jump up to 1.352V/1.360V (which according to the sticky in the CPU section, is a bit on the high side!) - are you having the same issue of have you disabled the option that lets it rise on its own?

Also, have you enabled XMP to get your RAM to run at 1600MHz or did you change it yourself and change the voltage to 1.5V??

Thanks.........
 
I'd say theres a good chance it will be stable at 1.3v
Had mine running @ 5Ghz with 1.32v load for nearly 2 months and it aint skipped a beat (yet) :)
 
I have ran prime95 on small FFTS for 7 hours and it peaked at 69c. I game on the machine and games dont use as much as Prime95 so I figured this was stable.

I havn't enabled XMP, In CPU-Z it states memory is running at 800mhz (x2 = 1600mhz?)

Should I try to bring the voltage down further and see how far it will go?
 
Yeah try and get the lowest voltage you can while still remaining stable.
Or you could go the other way, leave the voltage at 1.3 and raise the multi to see if it will go higher.
4.6Ghz is plenty good enough for 24/7 use though.
