Hey guys,

I've attemped to overclock my I5 2500K below is a picture of the overclock

The Vcore is set to 1.30, And the temps are at full load, I thought the temps was starting to get a bit high so this is as far as I dare to OC.

Does this look ok and safe for a 24 hour pc, mostly for gaming.

Many Thanks.

have you done any stress tests? does it pass? seems ok to me depends on if your happy going over the recommended safe volts

I've had prime running, but only for a short time 20mins, I will run it all night tonight ans see how it goes, I thought Vcore under 1.4 was safe? thats why I set it to 1.3 am i wrong there??
 
max safe volts is 1.35, cpu-z is reporting 1.376, temps are ok about the same as mine when i have 4.6-4.7. run prime for 12-24 hours if it pases its all good

Ahh I see, when I take it off full load on prime the volts go down to 1.3 how I set it in the Bios, I'll run prime tonight should be about 12hours in total.
