3600 @4.4 gained 15°C

[forteh]

Just avoid the manual OC and use PBO with an offset. Little to be gained these days with OCing a CPU, other than more money on electricity

You try telling DCS VR that
PBO will only get it to 4.05-4.1 at best, compared to 4.3 that equates to a substantial drop in performance.

that must have been a bug, no way you got max temps of 66c in summer with an OC, a stock 3600 would be over 66c in prime

It was the AVX instructions in prime95, disable them and it's rock solid at peaks at about 58-60°C on normal workloads, prime95 got it up to 66°C I think.

prime95, prime95, prime95..... prime95 is the most over used crap ever made. i had a Q6600 48hr stable @ 4Ghz then instantly crash when opening Firefox.
prime95 destroys systems and proves nothing.
OcUK used to sell Overclocked system's that was prime stable then they got RMA'ed on deliver because the crashed loading windows.

Manual all the way... My CPU sites @4.3Ghz and hits 55c gaming. PBO it would hit 88c and BSOD @4.1Ghz
