[jawnamon]

This is my first time doing this and was looking for some feedback i used this guide http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...Beginners-How-to-set-your-25-6-700K-to-4-5Ghz

Cpu: i5 2500k
motherboard: p67
cooler: hyper 212 evo

CPU Ratio: 45
cpu voltage: 1.350
Load Line Calibration: high

I have been running prime95 blend mode for about 2-3 hours

Try 4.5GHz with a little less 1.33v Vcore in CPU-Z. Your doing fine.

okay i will try it now, thanks

just tried it and got a blue screen when i ran prime95. Also noticed when i looked in hw monitor the max was 1.312? even though i put it at 1.33 is that normal? I've put it back to 1.35 and now it says its 1.336 but seems to be blending okay this time.

That is normal for the setting in Bios to vary from what you see with windows utility software, I would go by what the software says Intel designed V droop into the core voltage so it won't over shoot. looks like your doing well at 1.336v with hardware monitor I would stay there.
