Stock/OC Comparison, Should I Be Happy?

Hi,

After weeks of trial and error (learning as I go with overclocking).. These were the results I ended up with overclocking my CPU (i5-4670k) and GPU (HD7870):

CPU
STOCK - 3.4GHz @ 1.166v
OVERCLOCKED @ 4.4GHz @ 1.250v

GPU
STOCK - 975MHz @ 1188mV

OVERCLOCKED - 1175MHz @ 1188mV

I also ran RealBench for 15min bursts, then ran a full 1 hour test, both of which passed with no errors.
I have also tested some benchmarks in games and general gaming with GTAV, Batman Arkham Knight, DiRT Rally, Crysis 3 & Ryse Son of Rome.

Would you say this is a respectable overclock to be happy with? I am not sure how to read the scores if that is a good jump up or not.

Thanks again for all the help on OCForums doing this

You could try for 4.5ghz wih the same voltage see if its stable.

4.5 crashes within 1 hour of RealBench

Felt I was on the limit of my temperature with the cooling I had so didn't want to raise volt any higher.

Apart from that does it look stable and safe?

Could always delid , I done that with my 4670k and temps went way down, had it at 4.7Ghz on same mobo as you.
