Oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

Yeah, but when I'd just try to OC it to 3.9GHz and set the voltage to 1.216V manually, it won't even post, so why does this even work?

When I overclock my Xeon E5649 by highering the base clock, and highering my voltage, I'm only able to overclock it to 3.4GHz with a voltage of 1.35V and the temperatures will be very high while stress testing. When I try to overlock it with leaving the voltages on auto, I'm able to overclock it to 3.9GHz, and the voltage that CPU-Z and HWMonitor show are only 1.216V, the temperature will be much lower too. How can this be? And is it safe to just leave everything on auto like this? Thanks!

Any GTX 1060 would run GTA and Fortnite on ultra 1080p

Both are very respectable manufacturers, I'd just buy whatever is the cheapest.
