Hi I have a i7 6700k and a gtx 1080 founders edition on a z170 mother board. I did the auto CPU oc to 15%. I'm getting 4120 MHz at 1.344v does this sound about right. Also I over clocked my gpu 97 MHz and put the fan speed up to 90. Ran heaven for about 20 min straight and gpu temps never went over 55. Is this good? Benchmark scores on heaven have decreased since oc. Does that mean there is improvement. Is a lower score better? Also fps went down a little as well. But in 3Dmark fire strike all my scores went up. What does this mean. Am I pushing to hard. Should I pull back.

I don't know how far a gtx 1080 can overclock so can't help you there.
But that CPU overclock is horrible, stock it turbos up to 4.2ghz so you gained nothing except heat due to the voltage.
At 1.34v you should easily get 4.4-4.5ghz.
For example my 6700k is at 4.6ghz @ 1.325v
The average overclock is 1.35v for 4.5ghz
