Hey, I recently upgraded my whole rig, here is the upgrade:

Anyways, I decided to do a slight OC to 4,2ghz from the stock 3.5ghz. After doing the processes, I used AIDA64, my vcore was staying at 1.232v out of the 1.250v I have it set at, and the cpu was staying around 57c. I then went over to Prime95 and CPU Core temp to do another test, and the highest it reached was about 64c on one core. Idle I stay around 30-34c overall. I just wanted to be sure that everything went smooth into the OC and nothing will break, thank you!
Uncertain about your request, but your temps are great and your low Vcore is fine. I’d like to do an OC and avoid any stress. This should work well for long-term use. However, there’s no certainty that things will hold up after OC.
just avoid messing with the vcore unless you really know what you're doing, check for more details if you're thinking about overclocking just keep it safe and don't jeopardize your investment.
anyway... your setup is fine now, just stay under 1.35v with a good air cooler, 1.45v with a liquid cooler, and as long as you didn't exceed 75C at full load you should be okay.
As mentioned earlier, you shouldn't exceed 1.35v during an overclock, and probably not go beyond 1.3v for sustained 24/7 operation. He's right—reading some guides would be helpful!
Thank you for your message! You were careful to check compatibility and stability, which is smart. To ensure everything ran smoothly, you might want to verify a few more details.
Just to confirm stability, I’d perform an Intel burn test at least 20 times on the maximum settings. I’m keeping a close watch on your temperatures, but overall, everything seems fine as far as I can tell.

Here it is, around 15-18 minutes—really late where I am, and I need to shut it down soon for work. But it performed consistently with those temps, no crashes or freezes reported.
