What do you think I could OC this to on stock voltage?

Looking at slightly OC'ing, don't really want to change any settings apart from the multiplier if possible.
GA-Z68AP-D3 M/b
i5 2500k
Gellid Tranquillo rev2 cooler

First, idle temps:

Then a few minutes of prime

I'm thinking 4.0 maybe 4.1-2?

And a link to a good guide for OCing my mb would be great :3
 
x43 should work on auto, you might get lucky tho, some have gone all the way to x46. EDIT: All of those will be fine with your cooler.

Just google ''sandybridge overclocking guide" for a fair ammount of decent guides.
 
Think mine went to 4.4 on stock volts. Just keep upping the multi and IBT/Priming - all chips are different, so who knows :)
 
If you want to see the absolute max temps, then run IBT (Intel Burn Test) at maximum stress level :). Aim for 4ghz stock first, then slowly increase it til you BSOD or temps get too high.
 
Hi
I'm running a rock solid 4.0ghz OC on auto using a -0.07 voltage offset.

Idles at 0.89v (mid 20's C)
Load when gaming etc 1.18v (<40C)

I personally think you're better running with a voltage offset rather than fixed otherwise you lose the benefit of Speedstep.

System has been up and running for over 3 months & never missed a beat:)

Also, I can't really see any point in going higher than 4.0ghz as generally speaking, unless you're running multiple GPU's, this chip will not bottleneck any single card solution.
