Need some advice on whether or not I am going to fry my CPU.
I decided to Overclock it after Delidding the CPU and putting Cool Laboratory Ultra on all Matting surfaces. I use a Cooler Master Evo with 140mm Fan and I have achieved 4.7GHz Overclock with vCore set in BIOS at 1.385. I only turn on the computer when I am using it, so It is not on all the time. How I found the Stable Overclock is by using Handbrake to Encode a 2 hour Blu-Ray. I would increase the multiplier first and then Encode the Movie, when it would bomb out before finished, I would go back into the BIOS and increase vCore by .015 and run Handbrake again. It would go further but bomb out, so I would just repeat the process until it successfully finished the Encode. I am newb to overclocking, but I have heard of people using prime 95 to do the overclock and it taking 24 hours. I just did not see the point in that, because I will never use prime 95 and handbrake maxes the CPU out 100% while in use and it only took about an hour and half to find the stability point. So I am not sure if I should have done something different. Right now my real time specs in CPU-Z 4.6998 Ghz., vCore 1.392 and when Handbrake is running the Temperature peaks at 80 degrees C.
