I dont have a video card installed right now so i am using the intel hd 4000, but as i see now i need more vcore to maintain a stable 4.4 - 4.5 ghz overclock and my physics score in 3dmark11 has decreased.
Does this makes sense at all?

yes. if it using the integrated, it will generate more heat.

your sig says a 79503gb, is there a reason your not using it?

As the other poster has indicated, OC'ing creates more heat. With your HD GFX enabled, it is part of the CPU die, and so will increase the heat output when overclocking. Just dial it back a notch on the OC, and see if you can find the balance. Honestly though if your using the HD as an experiment I just wouldn't bother. Any cheap entry level card would perform better.

Ah, I see. Well I suppose there's not much you can do in that case, other than wait for the new GFX. 7950 is a nice card, but not massively faster than the 660ti. Do you mind me asking why the change?

I just sold to one friend at a good price as he doent has the money to buy it brand new and I just see that the 7950 if am lucky overclocking it can pair with a gtx670 and costing like 60 usd less so i will give it a try to AMD and play with it.
