Is this a decent OC?

Hiya,

I'm running a Z77N-Wifi MATX board so I'm voltage locked.

I'm running stable 4.2ghz on a 3570k at 1.068v ?

I know I could get more out of it, but voltage locked.. so that's a no go for me - just wondering if this is good or not

Looks to be a pretty good speed at that voltage. My 3770k is junk, needed around 1.2v or so for 4.2GHz.

Yeah, very good.

Awesome - maybe she'll be better when I get a better motherboard without voltage locked.

Out of interest what temp were you getting at 100% load?

I'll check now for you.

Using AIDA stress test for about 30 minutes, all 4 cores average between 75-77c. Average 60-63c and minimum of 27c (at idle).
