I decided to meddle around with my own i5. According to the BIOS, I'm running @4.6 @1.200V, but AIDA reports this as 1.216V under load, and 1.224V with Intel Burn Test running. These don't seem like unsafe voltages, but they're not what I typed in. Also, my IBT temps are higher than I'd like, with most cores averaging at 88°C, but one core peaking at 93°C. Temperatures under any other load are much lower, peaking at about 65°C (except the hot core, which peaked at 70°C, albeit briefly).
So I have a few things still to do:
See if I can get the peak voltage to be what I tell it to be.
See if it's still stable at lower voltages.
See if it'll go higher with the voltage just a little lower than its current level.
Wait for the (delayed) parts for my brother to arrive.
Also, I'm seeing the voltage go down when the CPU idles, but before the overclock, it would bring the clock speed down too. Should I meddle with stuff to try and 'fix' this, or is everything fine?
