Hello folks I have spend over 2 days reading different tutorials on OCing my CPU and I finally decided to do so. After all the research, I'm here for your opinion, Im sure you guys know much more about overclocking then me.

Specs
Intel i5 760 with a Cooler Master: Hyper TX3
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 1866
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
eXtreme Power Plus 700W - Cooler Master

I was running different stress tests for about an hour and the temperatures didn;t go higer than 70C. When idling its just below 40C.
I have a additional question. Does my RAM seem to be set up correctly? Do to the the OC Im concerned about it as well. I wanna get the best performance out of my PC.

I use the most RAM when I render videos or use programs such as Maya or 3DsMax. Try to get a FinalCut Pro Trial and render a 10Min video on the highest setting. Use a RAM monitor, either the stock Windows one or Hardware monitor. The synthetic test programs work, but this is a real world example.

I would profile out my CPU/RAM overclock, run the render on stock as a control, then run it again on the same OC you posted and then see the difference in speed. I say FinalCut Rendering as this uses the most of your 16GBs. Battlefield 4 uses 3.8GB of my 16GB, but having the faster clock speed is very helpful is for games. This type of real-world test should use the most RAM and you can see it all in action. Otherwise, it looks nice!

Hello Friends! So i did this overclock a year ago. Since last week strange things have been happening. Once in a while my computer won't boot from a cold start(when the windows is supposed to start up my monitor goes blank), when I reset it, it will boot normally. As of lately I have been only playing Counter Strike:GO and even in this game I get wierd FPS drops, and the game even crushed my computer twice. I have never encountered any problem since the OC, you guys have any idea what could be going on? Ohh and the temperatures have been stable since the OC.
