3570k question about voltages

[DanUre]

Just a quick one, im pretty new to OC'ing, but im currently at 4.3GHz with an A50 cooler. I havnt changed any voltages myself but in CPU-Z the core voltage is at 1.212v. Is this okay? All temps are sat at 60, give or take a few degrees.

im trying to find out this issue as well, i hear too many differing arguments!

I am under the impression you need to keep it under 1.4v but also under 90c?

Those temps are good, i hope you stressed tested it with prime 95 or intel burn test.

That was actually my next question, how long do i need to stress test? I ran prime 95 for around an hour and a half earlier and the max temps were 60,65,62,59.

Normally I do a quick 10-20 Intel burn test to see of the overclock passes that then if it passes that I would then move over to 12h+ Prime95 or even longer.
