overclocked, but should I lower V core?

[hopeful_builder]

Hi folks,

Finally built up my PC and im gobsmacked at how easy it was! no to mention the overclocking. Easy ! - although I spent more than I wanted its always the case when i get carried away.

So ive overclocked to 4.6. just using the mobo's UEFI, should I attempt to lower the V core? or just leave as is? The systems incredibly stable atm but ive seen it in so many posts before.

I can't read what the core voltage is?

See here for info on voltages for Sandybridge (is this an i5 2500K?)

Is the voltage 1.356v ~, compare with CPU-Z.

You might be able to lower a little but you will need to run Prime 95 or IBT to check for stability.

are them temps ok? I'm only running on air cooling atm but didn't want to go above 70 degrees

Temps are fine. You wont ever hit that unless you really stress your CPU. BF3 normally knocks my CPU to 45-50c, but thats about it.
