Hey guys ive got my 930 ramped up to 4.2ghz with settings (200x21) Voltage set to auto on the assassin board max ive seen it at is 1.392V and maximum temp of 84C on the d14 after a 24 hour run from prime 95 100%. never had any instability issues with it i was wondering if you guys think i should push it a tiny bit more for gaming as in games my max temp never exceeds 60 or would you think 4.2 is a fair overclock for my chip im sure my motherboard (g1assassin) can pull more than 4.2 from this chip especially with the dual 8 pin for 16phase. anyway hope you guys can give me some advice or opinions, thanks again
 
Through a gaming load i have never gone past 57 i will try to bring the voltage down slightly i left it on auto because i wasnt 100% sure but il have a play around see whats stable and
