What did CPU-z say - core voltage and did stay at 4200MHz?

Still warm - suspect it would creep past 85 if left to run...
 
Realty is in every day use the CPU would only reach 70 (probably) which would be fine - but let's try a lower voltage...
 
lets jump to 1.22v - mine will do 1.2 at 4.2GHz but all chips are different.

If you had a better HS or perhaps reseating your present one - you would be fine at 1.25, but we would be pushing for lower anyway. Normally we would test this voltage - if it was stable we would then drop voltages again and retest - repeat until it buckled. But temps too high so we'll bump down to 1.22v.
 
Better for the chip, better for the system. Anything under 1.35 is fine - so if you get 1.22v stable you're laughing...
 
Ah I get you,
You are considerably smarter than me! This is why I got a U at A-Level physics :D

I'm no smarter than you just play with computers - but may have hard time convincing you as studied maths and physics at uni. Bet you would have passed if you studied ;)

But had considerably less fun :D
 
That was a common issue with me I'm afraid! Didn't like all that haha, much more into my geography!
Okay, opening up all programs again, after a slight windows hiccup
