Your overclock looks solid, especially with those stable temps below 75°C. Compared to other overclocks on the same chip, yours seems competitive. The 1.150V setting and 4.8GHz clocks are a great choice for performance.
Determine the real voltage by using HWinfo64 with the output labeled VR Vout. For boards other than Asus, opt for the Vcore measurement instead.
This design shows excellent performance with an average voltage around 1.25V at this frequency.
That boosted my confidence I raised core clocks to 5GHz and boosted voltage to 1.255V. Peak temps reached 86°C after an hour of AIDA64 plus chrome browsing. I was curious, but I’ll settle for 4.9 for a more stable setup. Appreciate the advice!
