Hey, so I managed to overclock my HD 4000 to 1500 MHz with only 85.9375 additional mV, and it's stable. I saw many topics and stuff saying they managed stable status @ 1500 MHz with 187 mV and more. Should I lower it more, or should I leave it as it is? 1.5859 V is the Graphics Voltage at 1500 MHz. Is it okay? (It's i5-3570k hd 4000)

Yeah, but games like Arma 3, BF4, Metro LL, Crysis 3, etc, aren't even going to run. Since you have a PC and a good processor, I'd recommend a Radeon R9-290 Tri-X and 16GB's of RAM. You'd be able to handle a lot more after that and only spend roughly $500.

Leave it if it's stable, but I'd really try to get a new system (or if you don't have a laptop (I'm assuming you do, considering this chip) get a new graphics card upgrade if your mobo and PSU supports it) because even with heavy overclocks, this chip is horrid for graphics processing in terms of gaming.

I have a PC (i5-3570K, z77 extreme4, 2x4gb ddr3 1866mhz patriot iem memory and 750W psu). I know I should get gpu, I was just wondering why I didn't overclock sooner. Horrible for gaming? Nah, everything works great for me. I play Path of Exile / CS:GO on 1920x1080 @ max settings (maybe not ULTRA but most options high for sure, except shadows).
