Overclocking question

[T40Cal]

So I just OC'ed my 5930k to 4.2 ghz with stock voltage at 1.268 volts and while under load it hit 65 to 70 degrees Celsius is this normal? or should I underclock?

The temps are not out of line but, what are you attempting to do with the overclock?

Just for more fps in gaming and trying to stop this annoying stutter in games like it stops for a sec then goes back to norm

Load temps seem fine to me. Nice OC. I dont know about your processor, but I believe the max safe range for SB/IVB processors is 77C. Just look up the intel datasheet on your proc, it should have max safe temp ranges.

Looks like max safe temp is around 67C. The extra 3C probobly wont cause your system to instantly explode, but it might degrade slightly faster if you run it at those temps for extended periods of time (12+ hours probobly)

GPU and drivers will likely have more effect but, as I said, your temps aren't out of line.

Yea btw i forgot to mention my cooling is a h110i so i think i should be good temp wise

so not sure if this is a problem but i just looked at task manager and it dropped from 4.1 to 4 ghz is this normal?
