Hello I have the Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard with a i5 2500K 3.3GHz CPU. I set the multiplier to 45x in the Bios and Windows reports 4.4GHz in System Properties. I ran a quick test on Prime95 (8 passes) and the screenshot shows the Voltages and Temps recorded in HWMonitor. I just wondered if anyone can check to see if it looks stable and if there is anything else I should consider tweaking.



Thanks
 
If you've done prime and got it stable, try running IntelBurnTest on a 10cycles using the highest amount of ram available.

Then go make a coffee or something for 10mins or so..
be sure to also keep an eye on your temps IBT stresses harder than prime (more heat)
 
I'd say the overclock looks good, personally if an overclock is unstable it tends to fail the stability tests very quickly (I'm sure people have had it fail after hours obviously, jsut personally the first few minutes tend to be the main time for failures), If the overclock has passed I'd say the next step is really just to boot up a few different types of games and see it it crashes :)
