just compare my temps.
running 1.435V@ 4.95 GHz.
max on load=87
idle=30
too high meh?u using water cooling how u manage to cock to 4.95...
RealTemp 3.70 is giving me about 65C on about 33% Load. 4.5GHz OC'ed

Wonder if I should get a better fan.
*Hyper TX3 EVO here though*

Your Vcore Volt looks quite high
how much VTT are u feeding also ?
i would advise not to judge by speed solely and u need to take note of your voltage also.
i am not very familiar with Sandy Bridge's CPU temp (your previous image went MIA but i thought i saw 2600k or 2500k)
in O.C it is easier to push from bottom to top notch by notch rather then fly to the top region straightaway.
Unless u are very familiar with the characteristics of the chip, if not i would advise u to push from a safer speed like 4ghz first.
find the lowest volt that will be stable for it and then push higher speed and increase the volt slowly.
How to find when there's so little room to play? People running 4.3GHz at around 1.2-1.3v, mine is already 1.355v on default setting :|
you are running on AUTO for your Vcore?
i am not very familiar with Gigabyte's O.C settings though.
but looking at other forum's input, you could try 1.21-1.25 first.
i have seen reports of ppl going at 4.225 with 1.15V.
try turning options like PLL / Offset Voltage off first and solely use Vcore Voltage settings to check. What is the absolute minimum u need to boot and be stable at default stock speed. (U can use your Chip's VID as a gauge, its in CPUZ)
That will give you a rough idea on how much you can push later on.
