Is this a safe overclock?

Hey guys havent been keeping an eye on things latley and im not to sure about overclocking my 1055t with the nb frequency and ht link frequency but anyway i have it at 13.5 x 247MHz - 3.33GHz my kingston hyperx 1600 ram at 1316 @ 8-8-8-22-33 ht link is 2222MHz and nb is 2222MHz all stock voltages but i droped my cpu voltage to 1.225v cos the standard voltage was way to high and is 24 hours stable with intel burntest and prime95 both with 6 threads my main concern is the ht link and nb at 2222MHz is that safe and withh it be ok on standard voltages?

i think your ram is going to explode soon. Ram isn't good at overclocking IIRC and i know it isnt meant to overclock nearly that much, at most 1600 should be run at 1866.

What do you mean by safe? If at stock voltage it isnt going to burn anything up. The worse that can happen is a lock up or corruption. Then you will know to bumb up your voltage or back off the mhz. some.

It looks like he has 1600 running at 1316. Why would it explode?

by safe i just ment with the ht and nb frequency being at 2222MHz. and yes my ram was at 1316MHz.
Ive got the cpu set at 3.375GHz @1.25v x13.5 x 250, ht link at 2000MHz nb at 2250MHz ram at 1333MHz 8-8-8-22-30 all standard volts besides the cpu being lowered i find it weird that the standard voltage is 1.375v and i have it stable with 1.25 at almost 3.4GHz.
ive heard ppl getting these chips up to 4GHz is that true? i dont want to go that high anyway at this point in time i just wanted a bit more than the stock 2.8GHz i think at 3.375GHz should be fine for now as i dont want to fry the chip max cpu temp is 47c under 100% load

47° is fine.
