Does it represent a reliable increase in performance?

Hey everyone! I just set up my initial overclock settings.
Processor: I5 4670k @ 4.2
Vcore: 1.14
Hyper 212 Evo
Z97X SLI
16Gb Hyperx Fury (2x8) – running at 1333Mhz instead of default 1866
Integrated GPU (my 970 is RMA)
I've tested 20 times IBT at very high speeds with a peak temperature of 72°C
Also, achieved 4 hours of continuous use with a max temp of 62°C
it looks quite fine, i've run several x264 loops and played some games. the key point to keep in mind about unstable overclocking is its possible impact on your saved data through corruption. so i always suggest backing up all important files if you're planning a lot of trial and error with overclocking.

it looks promising, just run x264 loops and play some games. the key thing to keep in mind about unstable overclocking is its risk of damaging stored data through corruption. so i always suggest backing up all important files if you plan to experiment a lot with overclocking. thanks! a few more questions. ibt and occt temps are quite different. what's the maximum temperature for ibt and occt? i tried 1.22 and did 10 runs on ibt, but the max was 84°c. on occt it was 73°c. it's running at 4.4ghz and stable. vin is 1.95v, cpu voltage 1.22. what are your thoughts?
the input voltage is slightly too high for that vcore, generally a bit above it is fine, depending on the motherboard. have you considered reducing it while keeping everything else constant? ibt says the chip gets stressed a bit more for no reason, in my view. i prefer asus realbench with x264 or you can try x264v2 on its own and adjust settings. i notice the adjustments cause errors the fastest among the three options.
