I've ran prime95 for 4 hours this morning while surfing the web and I had no errors whatsoever and my max temp was 58c Delta.

When I go to play games like arma, my fps before was about 45-60 (vsync) on low and now I'm getting barely over 20. I'm not sure what it is, since I had no errors. Maybe I should try upping the voltage a bit more, since I have a little extra temp room?

Opinions?

Edit: Very sorry, I just realized title said 1.8v! It's now fixed.

PSU - XFX Core 550w 80+ bronze
Motherboard - Gigabyte Ga-Z87MX-D3H
RAM - Mushkin Silverline 8gb 1600MHz 9-9-9-24

Just checked minecraft. Average of 48fps where I got 120 before (vsync)

The only thing would be my cpu cooler. I went from a stock cooler to a refurbished h100. All is good, it's just a little loud. I'm getting an nh d14 on wednesday though.

As for my settings on the games, I always run any arma game I play on low because I really care about framerate. Minecraft, I max it no problem, until now.

Do you think my vcore is too low? I'm going to run an overnight stability test tonight, just to be sure.

But, my vcore is 1.118v... wouldn't that just make it hotter?
