Trying to increase the clock speed of my i2500k
You're trying again to push your old CPU beyond its previous limits. You checked for a 4.5 GHz overclock suggestion but found that your motherboard only supported up to 4.6 GHz with its presets. You're currently testing the 4.6 GHz setting and are observing voltage stability between 1.404 and 1.416 during benchmarks. The results aren't as high as expected, but it seems stable so far. It looks like you're in a good spot—maybe just a lucky outcome?
Maintaining around 1.4 volts ensures stability. 1.5 volts could extend CPU lifespan for a few days.
