Should i make the jump?

wow that is high!! Aquinus have you tried lowering it? @Agility try 1.7then back it down from there

That's not high, that's stock for SB and SB-E.

Seems if i want to go higher settings i would have to increase huge voltage. @Aquinus

Don't push 1.5v or higher for a 24/7 overclock. It will run hot and it will degrade your CPU over time. I usually stop at 1.45v as an absolute max; trying to stick between 1.30v to 1.45v on the core. I would also be careful about pushing the VVT over 1.25v.

Not good. Had a hardlock on my PC after 10minutes even at PLL 1.7. Going back to 1.8 and see if the same issues occur.

EDIT: Still occurs, will go back to PLL 1.88V and test. If it fails again i believe 4.3ghz is a no-no unless i go higher Vcore voltages

These settings still look like the best spot for my computer.
@4.2Ghz 1866Mhz
CPU VCore: 1.450V
QPI/VTT: 1.200V
CPU PLL: 1.86V

@4.3Ghz 1866Mhz
CPU Vcore: 1.5V?
QPI/VTT: 1.25V?
CPU PLL: 1.86

Wow 1.45V Vcore, that's a lot of voltage.

It's a lot but remember, this is SB which is 32nm. 1.45v on this isn't the same thing as 1.45v on your 14nm 6700k. 1.45v is about the most I would put through my 3820 for a 24/7 overclock though, even if temps are good.
