Hi,
I'm new to overclocking despite being very tech savvy and at the moment my system is still running stock settings and will be for the time being until I do a lot more reading.
But I wish to ask for an educated guess from the experts, I know OC'ing isn't an exact science per-se.
So based on my setup (see signature), if you were to make an educated guess, how far could I push my CPU.
Please bear in mind, my system has been operating about 16hrs at the time of this reading
Using Aida64 and Prime95 stress testing for 10 mins sees CPU & core temps go up around 20°C, GPU hits around 45-50°C depending fan control method (lower end when set to 100% manual)
System is fairly responsive and stable during stress testing.
Oh and if someone could explain how my overall CPU temp is 10°C higher than the individual cores, you'd be helping me less confused
Thanks for any advice you may give.
