Am I doing this right?

Hi,
Currently got my rig OC'd to 4.5GHz, whilst the system is stable, I wonder if I can tweak it a bit more, so any advice would be appreciated.
Running the following:

Intel i5-3570K @ 4.5Ghz
Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB PC3-12800C9

Close Ratio: 45
XMP: Profile1
PWM Phase Control: eXm Perf
Vcore Loadline Calibration: Medium
CPU Vcore: Normal
DVID: +0.075

During Prime/IBT/AIDA64 temps hit maximum 80C with a Vcore of 1.344v

Got a water-cooled case on order from OC but whilst I have read that anything up to 1.4v is ok, I wonder if i'm doing everything right?

Looks ok to me,tried to lower dvid/offset?

Volts and temps are still decent for ivy

Ok thanks, will give that another go but haven't had any WHEA since I upped the DVID 1 notch. With the watercooling, do you think I have a chance to hit 5Ghz?

There is always a chance, but 5Ghz is hard to get stable. It's a silicon lottery!

Very true, will give it a go when its on water, see how far I get!
