Hello, I used Turbov Evo from ASUS to auto tune my CPU (Intel Core i5 3570K). It increased the frequency from 3.4 MHz to 4.2 MHz. I understand that auto OC isn't the best option based on what I've read, but I found it easier for myself. My main concern is whether this overclock will work with Intel's stock heatsink fan.

I did a stress test and the CPU met the specifications below.

I just want to know if this will be stable and not cause any issues.

The fire strike test only reached 61c, indicating a low oc and likely close to stock vore, so temperatures didn't increase significantly. Your readings are better than anticipated. Compare these with actual gaming data and consider using software that monitors peak temps. Auto OC should remain stable, but it increased bclk which isn't ideal. I don't understand the need for manual adjustments—just increase multi and keep everything on auto to achieve similar results as turbo evo without affecting bclk.

the stock CPU cooler isn't meant for overclocking. When you decide to purchase an aftermarket cooler, keep that in mind.

The fire strike test only reached 61c. It wasn't a high oc and likely near stock vore, so temperatures didn't increase much. Your readings are better than expected. Compare with actual gaming data and use software that logs max temps. Auto OC should stay stable but it did increase bclk which isn't ideal. I don't see the need to skip it—just raise multi and keep everything on auto for consistent results as turbo evo without affecting bclk.

I've adjusted the settings manually and achieved improved outcomes now.

Stress temps are currently 57c @ 4ghz in 3Dmark, but I haven't tested during gameplay like DCS yet.

Thanks for the help!
