Hey guys,
I have to admit I am a total nub when comes to overclocking and right of the bat I will say.... I won't overclock any component of my system and there is a reason.
My system runs pretty much 24/7/360 the few days I left out for maintenance so overclocking really would not benefit me, but I was always curious how well my GPU s and CPU perform if I overclock, pure curiosity.
 
Can you guys tell me what you think, is that good, average, are the temps any good considering?
 
I set my multiplayer to 42 and  sync all cores I didn't' touch the voltage and running cinabench r15 and my temps went to 55-57C max, no crash. I than set my multiplier to 43 and run the same , at that point my temps went to 62-63C max and I run that several times, things were the same, at this point I looked at voltage and it was sitting at 1.4xxx I'm not an expert but from what i heard that is a bit high, than again I didn't touch the voltage I wouldn't even know where to began, its only curiosity anyways.
 
I went to 4.4 and during cinabench cup crashed so for me the testing's stopped
 
What you guys think

    Leaving the Vcore on auto when overclocking the CPU will almost always produce more voltage than is needed to maintain the clock speed with stability.  Best to set it manually after some trial and error testing.

    1.4v and you're still not stable. You definitely didn't win the silicon lottery.

    It might not be the answer that overclockers want to hear, but as a non OC that's exactly what I was asking for. I wasn't sure what to expect from this CPU when pushed a bit, I'm glad I'm not to crazy about the extreme clock speeds
     
    Although, I was testing Cinabench R15 and on stock I was getting around 1800, which comparing to others that's about right but  as soon as i bumped  to 4.3ghz and it was stable, the number went to 2210 and that seem to be some difference here
