Want to overclock but confused.

1220-1270 seems about right, one version of the d14 came with 1300 rpm 3 pin fans. On asus boards of recent years, speed control of 3 pin fans was removed. Therefore theyll run full speed at all times when connected to the cpu header. The newer model D14 features 4 pin PWM fans, theese will vary in speed upto a max of 1300 rpm according to the bios cpu qfan setting.

@Wazza, yep seen it available on the ai menu of my p6 x58. But iirc, at idle my old v2 deluxe did drop the voltage down.

EDIT: Just checked a few old screenshots, seems it didnt drop at idle. My memory is failing me lol.

ahh your using d14,they are 3pin the early models i have one,i bought two akasa apache pwm fans and swapped them out,the noctuas were too noisy for me
 
A couple of beefier PWM fans such as the apaches or the vipers, (if you can stand the colour) might help a bit. Used the vipers via a PWM splitter cable so both could be speed controlled via the single cpu fan header. No need for the cable now on the board in sig, as it has two 4 pin cpu fan headers.
 
Can't see anything in the bios about this offset voltage.

Farcry 3 crashed on my yesterday, but I think that was down to me GPU overclock, I lowered it by 10Mhz and I havn't had a problem since.

At the moment my CPU voltage is down to 1.22500v, running Prime95 for over 1/2 hour and I'm topping out at 78C.
 
Id knock the gpu back to stock for the time being. Run a good long prime stress test, (8hours is a good test of stability). Then try the games with the cpu oc'd but the gpu at stock. If all is well, reapply the oc on the gpu. 78c is fine, your unlikely to hit temps as high as that in games.
 
I was starting to have crashes in World of Warcraft, complete system freezes. I had to turned off the machine, even the reset button wasn't working.
Wierd thing is that it can take hours for it to happen, and it only seems to be happening in WoW.

I took my GPU OC back to stock about 2 days ago, everything seemed fine, but about 5 minutes I had a crash.
I've increased the voltage to the CPU up to 1.23125V to see if that helps things., just a bugger that it's so random and takes so long to happen.
