Any knowledge I have about overclocking has come from research on the Internet. I used this very helpful thread with a combination of others to get what I think is a stable overclock @4.5GHz.
To check the stability I used Intel Burn Test and Prime95:
Intel Burn Test
-----------------
Stress Level: Standard 1024MB
Times to run: 5
Prime95
---------
5 hour run time
I passed the stability tests and idle temp 33-35 degrees Celsius and my highest temp was 72 degrees Celsius.
My voltages range from 1.3361v idle - 1.3611v full load.
Power seems to be staying at and around 35 watts at idle and 100+- at full load.
My questions are these:
1. Are there any glaring mistakes in my UEFI settings for my overclock?
2. How can I use Offset Mode to help with lower voltages? (Need a little help understanding this better)
3. Anything else I can do to lower my temps? (I am using a Corsair H110)
