Hello . Thanks for replying . I have managed to bring the CPU in a stable state by using an overclocking template in the BIOS . AKA automatic overclocking . I just selected 4000 and it changed all settings automatically voltage , multiplier , etc . I Turned off the thermal throttling since I ' m monitoring that myself anyway . I left C 6 on though because I do want the frequency to go down while not under full load . Don ' t remember what I did with the Spread Spectrum but as long as it ' s running stable I don ' t think I should change it . Ok now to reply to your statementsI did replace the stock cooler . It ' s not an impressive one but it ' s better for sure . On this subject , what is the max temp I should be ok with ? currectly it doesn ' t reach 70 . Usually chills around 6065 , but after many hours it might get to 6869 . Is this ok ? Btw , in HWinfo I see two temps . One is Package temp from the CPU and other one is from the CPU sensor on the MB . Which one is better to follow . LLC I didn ' t see this setting in the BIOS . I have an Asrock 970 Extreme 3 v 2 . 0 Turbo My turbo was only going to 3 . 7 from 3 . 5 . How good are you with Graphic Cards ? I ' m having a bit of trouble determining my GPU usage . With MSI Afterburner , if I leave it on default , my GPU usage goes to 100 % then 0 %, then 90 %, then 0 %, then 100 % again . I changed an option , forgot what it ' s called , and then it seemed to monitor correctly . It was now varrying between 70100 %. But this is still a huge variance . Is the game really that bad that even if nothing is changing in the game , the usage is varrying ? Or is it doing that because sometimes it ' s waiting for the CPU ?
