Supp people,

I overclocked my CPU to 3.9Ghz with the voltage of 1.38750.

Is this any good, should I lower or set the voltage higher?

The temps are good, I've got the Dark Rock 4, so no worries (I think, 65 Celsius).

SPECS just in case:

CPU - R7 1700X
GPU - GTX 1070TI
MOBO - Asus X370 Prime Pro
RAM - 2x8GB 2400Mhz
PSU - 550 Watt
SSD - 250GB 860evo
HDD - 1TB WD

Hi meteheuvel :)

Ideal temperatures are 10-15C above ambient room temperature and 60-65C under load.
If your 65C was taken under load then OK your Air cooler is doing it's job quite well.
Core voltage at 1.3875V is safe for 3.9GHz.
I use AIDA64 to stress test. It's about the best and free for a month. It will test your CPU, FPU and Cache and other sub systems (RAM, GPU, DISK) You can get it here: https://www.aida64.com/downloads
Get the self installing .exe package. Once installed, go to the tools section and run the stress test for 10mins then report here the results for analysis.

Do I need to do any stress test or something like that? If yes, which stress test would you recommend for me?

Thanks BTW :D

I did a stresstest with AIDA64 after a while, sorry, but I'm getting like 77 degrees on 3.9ghz and 1.35 voltage (lowered my voltage btw).

Sometimes it goes up to 85 degrees for 5 seconds, I don't know what that means but okay.

Temps are good enough?
