Oh great 🙂 will test BF4 now

Are you saying you can over stress the CPU too much even when its cooling fine?

[Nate152]

I'm just saying once you are stable there is no need to test for stability again is all. And yeah go kill some bad guys in battlefield 4 you can post your temps if you want.

Here are the results

4.3GHz @ 1.36v

BF4 Ultra Maxed out with FRAPS FPS @ 1920x1080 120Hz

Thank you again so much for your help, I now have a stable PC.
The last test will be when I Live stream BF4 on Twitch via Xsplit, I will monitor Temps then also.

If you're only running 4.3 I'm willing to bet you can be 100% stable under 1.29 vcore.

Personally, I would attempt it.

Hello r0wnin, did you read a page or two back? He needed that much voltage to pass the realbench video encoding test.

I see your Specs seem to be very similar to mine. May I ask what your OC settings are?

All c-states and speedstep disabled.

Under the custom cpu power profile:

Load lvl 7
Extreme profiles.
130% cpu
130%mem

Hey no problem , I'm sorry it took so many hours to get there. You're temps are fine and when overclocking always make it a habit to monitor your cpu temps. That's a nice gaming pc you have there and you have it nice and clean looking in there. Not a bunch of wires/cables hanging/dangling around. Sticking true to the ROG color theme tops it right off.

Do you happen to know anything about GFX Card OCing?

[Nate152]

Yes I overclock my gpu's using precision x. I like precision x because It has on screen display and can show your frames per second, gpu temp, gpu usage, gpu memory usage and more while playing games. I don't think GPU Tweak has on screen display.
