Hey Everyone, I've Overclocked my PC and Here are some Pictures of my Results everything seems stable so far. I Tested my video card with Furmark and Heaven Benchmarks also, What are your thoughts about my overclock?
81 c under load is pretty high for a standard oc.What kind of cooler you using?. Although i would deffinately prefer it to run down under 70!
I'm not sure about the ox on your graphica however, what kind of fps increase have you seen from benchmarking?
For a 84W CPU I would prefer lower temps.
Better cooling is probable the answer because the vcore at 1.2V is not all that high of voltage.
As far as benchmarks are concerned, I haven't done much benchmarking so far, but what I Have done is Geekbench for now with normal and overclocked settings. I also noticed with my CPU core voltage on auto it sits at 1.108 and Jumps to 1.192 - 1.197 Under load with a Max temp of 69c.

Yeah that last screenshot shows you running 69*c at 3.8Ghz which is only a little higher than the standard clock rate (Is it worth the OC?).
If you want to push the 4Ghz then i would honestly advise you to upgrade your cooler, either a larger heatsink or higher pressure fan. Or you know, get an all in one water solution.
Just thought i would share mine, the max temps were due to the cooling profile being in the silent mode.
I Don't think you're gonna get a Larger heatsink than the Noctua NH-D14 For air. I have no interest in Water either, besides I'm doing 55 - 60c On my CPU when i'm playing Dead Rising 3. If I don't crash I'd say the Overclock is worth it.Yeah that last screenshot shows you running 69*c at 3.8Ghz which is only a little higher than the standard clock rate (Is it worth the OC?).
