Is my OC pretty good?

Hello,

I have an i7-3770k and have had it clocked to 4.4Ghz (100FSB; 44 multiplier) for a long time. It only needed +0.040v offset to stabilize it.
I have for a long time been wanting to get the last few inches of performance out of the system and finish fine tuning it, but hadn't had the time. Today I thought I would have fun and finally get to it. So I played with higher multipliers, and the FSB, RAM, more voltages, and here is the end result I ended up with, which I am pretty sure is stable. CPU is, just doing memtest to check the RAM now.

CPU: 4.533Ghz (103FSB; 44 multiplier) Voltage offset +0.085v
RAM: 1854Mhz 10-10-10-28-2T 1.5v
I also increased PCH Voltage from 1.05v to 1.08v, and VCSSA voltage from 0.92500v to 0.95000v.

I know this isn't a big increase over my old OC, so I am kind of wondering if the gained performance is worth the voltage increase. I think the CPU in Openhardwaremonitor topped out at 1.224v, but I am not sure if that is the max. I was doing a stress test at the time, so it should be.

I would think that it would be pretty good, but maybe you should try running multiple programs/games that would stress the system and compare the difference now in those games,etc. and see if the voltage increase is worth the amount of performance you got out of it.

P.S: If you could visit my website and just click on an ad, and wait for 10 seconds, that would be perfect. I won't be able to afford my next monthly website payment, and i kind of need all the funding I can. If you like the website, please let me know. Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but it would help me alot. Thanks!
 
Comparing game FPS is a good idea I had oddly not thought to try. I've done a 20 passes in Intel Burn Test and a pass in memtest so I think its stable, but could of just been lucky so far. I just did a benchmark using AIDA64 and the RAM intense benchmarks they have are showing big improvements of like 16%, especially the GPGPU benchmark. I will give a game a go and see how things are.

Btw, sure I don't mind. I went and clicked around on a few pages and then clicked an add at the bottom that took me to Intel's website, came back here to reply, then I'll close it after I post this. Hope that helps.
