Im stress testing but is this ok? 4.7GHZ i7 2500k

Hey guys, I'm new to overclocking and I needed your help...

Is this a good overclock If it stays stable? is the voltage and temps ok?

Looks ok to me but I wouldn't go any higher with the volts. You shouldn't go above 1.38v for a 24/7 OC but you should be ok with 1.384v try and get it down if you can though.
 
Yeh, thats fine, pretty good for 4.7ghz to be honest. As long as you stay under 1.38v for a 24/7 OC you will be fine.

Thank you for that, I'm trying my luck with 1.3250 now lol do you know how to turn boost of? should I turn c1 state off etc as well? I dont know what to turn off lol I just done the cpu voltage put my memory to 1600 mhz and done the voltage for that and put multi to 47
 
Disable Turbo boost and speedstep in the BIOS that will give you a constant 4.7ghz rather than it clocking down when not being used but if you want it to clock down leave it as it is.

You can enable Load Line Calibration LLC for short to improve stability but it will increase the voltage a bit but if it's stable you may as well leave it as it is, if it ain't broke don't fix it, lol

Appart from that manually set RAM timings, frequency and voltage in the BIOS.

lol, I will see how low I can get the voltage with it still being stable but keep everything the same lol, If it lowers it down it may save on the bills lol... do you know what I should put for my ram trimings? If not then I wont have a clue what to do lol I have this ram (link to a aria page)

CPUz says my cpu voltage is 1.1368 but changes :/ and msi tool says 1.3200 but it seems stable... but the temps are still 72 (on core 2) // 65 / 59 / 72 / 69

Just set the timmings to the specs of the RAM so just set them to 9-9-9-24 in the BIOS, should be under RAM timing control or something similar to that.

CPUZ sometimes gives wrong readings the MSI Tools should be the more accurate. As long as it's stable you shouldn't have any probs though.

Your temps are ok as well, my core 3 is 4-5 *c hotter than the others idle but on load all cores are the same except core 0 which is cooler by 4-5 *c

I've noticed quite a few people that have one core hotter or cooler than the others though.

yeah my core 0 is 10 degrees cooler than core 1
