Did some passes @ 4ghz to see any gains … with stock gpu and 810/1000 aswelll… i only gained ~ 200 points in vantage and ~3/400 in 3dmark06. Did the tests 3 times too.
Looks like 3.8 really is the sweet spot for performance and heat.
gonna reseat the hsf on the w/e as ill be fuckin around with the sytem anyway ( sorting fans etc out) and see if the temps tighten up at all.
gonna see if spinning the forward top fan to intake rather than exhaust makes a diff too… as it will effectively feed the hsf and blow over the mobo … curious is all
id love a go at 4.1 but by god the vcore ratio just keeps on goin John … every bclock jump needs vcore just like 3.8-4 did… crazy i tell ya… so certainly wont be benching that in a hurry lol.
