so is this occasional freeze connected to the OC?
Hmm, 1.32 should be plenty to even get up around 4.5ghz with no issues. Try turning off speed step (EIST) and c1e (and the other C-states) in your BIOS to make it so it runs constantly at 4.1ghz right now and see if it still does it.
I use it for gaming, anyways what temp should I stop at? I use torturetest to make it work maximum
Recommend setting your FSB back to 100. Bump vcore to 1.4 (or 1.38 if ur not comfortable with 1.4). 1.4v is pretty much what everyone considers real safe. I have seen numbers all the way to almost 1.5 but that's a little to high for me.
2600k is almost guaranteed to reach 4.2Ghz. I haven't seen anyone complain about not reaching 4.2ghz, and all the MB companies auto-OC to 4.2ghz. Decent chips will reach 4.5 to 4.6. Really good chips will hit 4.8 to 5ghz, but I believe those are far and few between.
