Hey fellas. It's been years since I built the system I'm currently using and followed pc hardware, so you could say I'm rusty + out of the loop.
I had no need to overclock my 2500k since I had it paired with a GTX 570 and that limited my FPS in games more than anything. With my new GTX 970, however, I wanted some more cpu performance.
I'm at 4.5ghz right now, with 1 volt at 1600mhz idle, 1.3 volts at 4500mhz load. However, my voltage will spike to 1.344 according to hwmonitor. I just wanted to make sure that this spike is still well within safe limits for the 2500k.
Thanks! And sorry about the noobie question.
