4930K First Time Overclocker 4.7Ghz Am I doing this right?

Hi Forum

Just recently built my first desktop PC and experiencing my first time overclocking.
My setup is:
Intel i7 4930K
Asus Rampage IV Black Edition
2x 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400MHz 10-12-12-31 1.65V
Corsair H110 for CPU cooling

I've been playing around with the bios overclocking tools and AI SUITE 3 using AIDA64 for stress testing.
My first stable run was at 4.7Ghz with multiplier of 47 on all cores and a CPU VCORE of 1.385V resulting in a core voltage of 1.420V for AI SUITE 3 and 1.408V for CPU-Z. Memory is in XMP mode and running at 2400MHz. A CPU VCORE of 1.380V resulted in an unstable system in 30 mins. Running AIDA64 I maintained a stable system for around 7 hours with CPU temps between 40-50 degrees Celsius and my individual core temps between 70-80 degrees Celsius.

The questions I pose are:
1. Is this a good oc?
2. Is the voltage too high and should I go for a lower multiplier and CPU VCORE?
3. What would the life expectancy of this chip be at these settings?
4. Should CPU VCORE always be at 1.408V even when not under load and if so is there anyway to drop the voltage in idle use?

Any responses will be appreciated and helpful
Thanks

No, I would like you to try B4 how you have it currently set.

Post your cpu temps after playing B4 for say 15 minutes.

Only last 2 mins before getting BSOD. Looks like it, i go for 45 with 1.37v as you suggested on the earlier posting, since my cpu reach its limit. Or maybe i should get h100i cpu cooler for better OC 🙂

Anyway thanks for the tips Nate152!

Hey no problem we gave it a shot. Looks like 4.5 GHz is gonna be it. Have fun, I'm off to bed.
