Someone on the forum must know what this is , is it worth using?

your sig link is broken so i cant see what you have but it looks ok, its just a ballpark non ideal setup that will get you something. wont be optimised though. make sure its referring to your cpu of course

Try it run the overclock at 44x say 1.275 voltage and if its stable then reduce voltage till unstables and then add till solid. Add more voltage if unstable at starting point till stable.

How do i tell if it is unstable? I downloaded occt earlyer and speed fan too, how could intell using those ?

If its unstable your system will usually crash, try Intel burn test also play a game after that usually roots out any instabilitys.

Also monitor cpu temps anything above 80c is to much imo, real temp is a good program.

I'm sorry but I don't trust people who take a crooked non-full-frame cell phone picture of their monitor instead of using the screen-shot function

I took the shot from my phone so i could use it while in the bios, the post was made from my phone because my pc isnt always on and was more conveniant , mayby one day apple will bring out an iphone keyboard with a screen shot key. You will be able to trust me then ...

I used a "cpu upgrade" option and set it to 4.4 then ran occt for 40 minutes with no problems, gonna test it on mass effect andromeda now.
