Can you confirm if it's secure to push an i5 4670 non K to higher clock speeds?

Keep to the Turbo Boost speed, you can go higher if you want but you run the risk of damaging not only the CPU, but the other components as well. You can leave the voltage on auto for now and experiment with it once you've established that the overclock is stable.
It's not uncommon for turbo boost to fluctuate in speed, and this can happen without any issues. The system may adjust dynamically based on various factors.
When instability appears, typically you either increase the CPU voltage or decrease the overclock. Since you're not surpassing the Turbo Boost limit, you can keep the voltage set to auto. You're not exceeding the clock speed it wasn't built for, so manual adjustments aren't required unless you wish to reduce heat.
My bios doesn't include a multiplier, but it shows CPU core ratio. I adjusted it to "sync all cores" and entered 3800.
My CPU remains consistently at 3.4 ghz during Minecraft and GTA 4 playback.
The system maintains a consistent 3.4 ghz yet experienced a temperature of 70°C during gameplay. Is RealTemp accurately reflecting the real CPU performance?
It looks like the turbo boost needs to be enabled for the CPU core ratio to reach 3.8 ghz. If not, it might prevent you from doing it. Everything seems okay otherwise.
