Hi, I'm new to overclocking and tried my first oc. My specs
Intel I5 3570k 3.4ghz
Msi z77a gd65 gaming mono
12 gig corsair vengeance 1600 ram
Corsair H80i all in one water cooling
Corsair 850watt psu
So In Bios I upped the processor to 4.2.
I left every other option in bios alone except for the cpu voltage which I manually set to 1.0 (from what I read this is acceptable but I'm nervous)
So now I'm in windows. I have Prime95 running at priority 10 blend test. We are now on hour 11. RealtempGT say over these 11 hours my my max temps are 64 degrees on a given core and 58/59 on others.
I'm going to continue to let p95 run today.
My questions are this.
1. So far is thus a stable oc since 11 hours in I have no errors?
2. I've read that even if I pass p95 for 24 hours I can still crash in games? Is this true?
3. I'm worried my voltage is to high regardless if I'm stable? With these settings can I burn out my cpu?
Thanks for all the help.
