I'm currently trying to optimize my system to run a program called Prepar3d, which is an extremely per-core performance hungry application.

The 8350 isn't a per-core performer, but, the more I push the overclock, the higher the fps push. Right now, I have a 15% overclock (4.6ghz) with the stock cooler. Temperatures running p3d are a solid "meh", and definately aren't going to burn the house down.

My question is, with the Corsair H110, will i be able to push to 5ghz,or maybe 5.2?

Trademan, that's what I'm picking up on. Based on a few tests I did in the past, mine's a decent overclocker. I'll run p3d for a few hours and watch my temperature

Quick update, I changed my CPU back to stock clock. Here's the thing;

I'm not sure I'm getting an accurate temperature reading on my CPU. Core Temp says it's idling at 59 degrees, but most of the time it stays around 68. I'm not sure if I believe this. Is it possible my temperature readings aren't accurate?
