i7-4930k on Rampage IV Black Edition

[andlaw]

Hey guys, I recently built a PC, intel build and decided to go with RoG hardware. here are the specs:
-ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition X79
-Intel i7-4930k @ 4.4GHz
-ASUS Poseidon Platinum GTX980 SLI (2x4GB)
-CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 2133 C8
-CORSAIR Force Series GT 240GB (2x120GB) [OS | RAID0]
-WD3003FZEX [HDD Storage]
-CORSAIR Obsidian series 900D
-CORSAIR AX1200i Platinum

I have been reading and messing around trying to get the best overall overclock to the system, keeping full stability! I have been using cinebench r15 and prime95 blend/small fft to test initial stability. I found a few different BIOS guides to baseline the settings and have my system stable at 4.4 using offset, which the AI suite is showing vCore @ .960v idle 1.232v load. CPU temp via Real Temp GT 3.70 is 28c idle 63c load [running cinebench r15 CPU test] cinebench current score is 1164-1194.
here is a validation from CPU-Z :: http://valid.x86.fr/ntw3ze

Does any1 see anything wrong with this? and aside from my current settings which seem to be overall stable and giving good/decent temps... What can I do different or change to gain a better OC without over stressing my PC. Thanks in advance!!! ROG FTW*

and if any1 is interested, my RoG theme build can be seen here~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X66_qLfpaT4
build is not done, I will be doing a full custom water loop here soon now that I got the video cards in! I was wanting the Poseidon GTX 980ti's but decided not to wait and got these... which are awesome btw! 180+ fps everything on highest available while playing GTA V @ 1080p 144hz. again, thanks for the time and any help/feedback is greatly appreciated~

All looks good to me...probably the sweet spot for those CPUs and looks good volts and good temps....I can't see anything I would change...nice OC!:D
