Forgetting what's possible, temps and VCore are in the range that should most probably be okay, so no problems there if it's stable and for whatever reason you just wanted to leave it. I'm currently running about as low as I can drop the vcore for my core speed without my a bunch of errors (been messing around with the numbers). If this ends up being stable for a while I might drop another 0.05 and so on. But yea, just wanted to know if the numbers were in the ok range.
You are running at 102mhz base clock, you should probably set to 100, among other things. Turbo LLC if you didnt set it

Hey do you need to pay to use xsplit? I am going through the tutorial videos and it keeps asking me to pay.
Is xsplit ideal for streaming on twitch? what other options do I have?
Thx for any advice :D

All of a sudden I can't alt tab out of SC2, I'm running windowed fullscreen. It seems to work while in loading screens but not in menu or in game. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

As a sidenote, I was running my 3570k with 4.5 and 4.6 Ghz through Prime95 without any errors, and could run Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for hours. However, Starcraft 2 always crashed after a couple of minutes and threw me back to the desktop (Windows kept running fine, it was only SC2 crashing). I had to lower the speed to 4.4 GHz, since then it's running fine. No idea why this happens, though.
Edit: Also, my Voltage on 4.4 is 1.238V under load (manual offset of +0.030), so your values look reasonable for me (but I'm not very experienced with OC).

This program is so cool and great instruction videos. Thanks!

They are all really terrible. Learn to build a computer yourself (its really easy, just lego with more expensive parts) or find another company that makes decent premades.

This happened to me yesterday. Under options, deselect disable Alt+Tab shortcut

The game doesn't tell me I'm supply blocked anymore. This has made me realize I need to look at my supply cap constantly, but also extremely annoying when I get blocked and don't even notice. Is this new to HOTS or a setting?
edit: Nm, just fixed it. I think it's called error sounds.

Yes, but it's not the best RAM (" - XMP 11-11-11-30 values at 1600MHz, 1.50V" cas11 latency, you probably want cas9.. something like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517 ) and you should probably get a better board than the z77 extreme4, it's only really adequate for lower overclocks and if you dont mind the voltage reporting issue but i wouldn't suggest buying it regardless. Some people dont think it is a big deal but it's a pretty low quality part and there's better available.

Thanks for the quick reply Cyro - which board would you recommend?

I think the UD3H is good, but im not expert on boards

Ye it's the part I've struggled most on to come to a decision. I seem to be changing my mind with every review / article I read; going round in circles!

You should simply not put much weight in the benchmarks from reviews. Most of the stuff you will use is done by the exact same chips on all boards as Intel already provides a lot of SATA ports, USB ports, the memory controller, pci-e controller. The large differences are from suspicious behavior, like the motherboard defaults running an i5-3570k CPU at a fixed x38 turbo multiplier, while Intel's specification says that should only be the case if half the cores are at sleep. Default memory timings also can be more or less aggressive with different motherboards as the XMP timings supplied by the memory sticks don't set all timings.
I think I've seen tests like overclocking and running the motherboard overnight in a hot environment at hardocp.com. Those kind of reviews could be interesting.

Thanks guys for the advice - I'm gonna go with what MisterFred recommended!

I was wondering if anyone could help me take a look at my BSOD .dmp and see if it was hardware or software related - I just upgraded my graphics card about a week ago, and this was the first BSOD I got. I am on the beta drivers (to fix another problem) from Radeon, so I'm not sure if that would do anything.
