i5 2500k OC advice

[Pickman]

Hi,

So I have overclocked my CPU for the very first time using a i5 2500k on an Asrock Z68 extreme4 gen 3 motherboard.

I ran Prime 95 for two hours and got the following results.

I am concerned that the temps and voltage might be high and would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
Sam

Temps look ok, but what cooler are you using?

Also I take it all your voltage settings are still on auto? @ 4.8 for me with a 2600k at auto also gave 1.44v, so far I've managed to drop it as low as 1.312v, but how low you can go changes chip to chip.

If you manage to lower the voltage you'll see the temps gradually reduce as well.
