i5-4670K Overclock is it good?
You have a 4670k with a current clock speed of 4.2GHz at 1.198v. I'm checking if the voltage you're using is suitable for this overclock. I'm also curious about whether you can push it higher and what the ideal maximum voltage should be. The idle temperatures are low, around 30 to 40°C, while under stress they rise to about 60°C or more. Your motherboard is an Asus H97M-E and you're using Crucial Ballistix sport 1600 memory.
My error, it does. Even then, it seems to be a 4+1 power phase design, so it's unlikely to handle much overclocking, no matter what the BIOS allows. You might want to attempt increasing the OC further. A 1.198V setting works for 4.2... I'm curious what you can achieve. As long as stability is maintained and voltage remains under 1.3V, it should be fine.
1.3V (with proper cooling) is the suggested maximum voltage for generation .....
With the 4670K boosts up to 3.8GHz, only about a 10% increase in operating current means <1.2V is acceptable.... particularly since you're probably constrained to a BCLCK OC on the H97 board?
This model includes a BIOS with overclocking settings, making it a solid choice:

I added some heatsinks to the CPU power circuit.
