Thanks for you help, I'll do that and report back

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll run it for 10 hours then run prime95 as well I intend to. Thanks 4.5Hz wow on air? I would like to get up to 4.5 if possible, did you look at my settings? Could I reach that as they are now simply by bumping up the frequency and core voltage alone or do I need further tweaks. I really have limited knowledge about this, I've come this far by watching Linus's videos and from fine folks like yourselves

Hi there, I've never done anything this technical before. I've built my Flight sim rig with the following: Motherboard - gigabyte ga-z97x-ud5h-bk CPU - intel i7 4770k GPU - gigabyte geforce GTX 980 PSU - Corsair CX650 RAM- 2 Modules of 8gb hyperx fury (1333 to 1866 MHz - not xmp enabled ) CPU Cooler - Cooler master hyper 212x I feel I might miss out some information that may help you to help me so I've decided to take pictures of my overclock settings and stress test results. I ran Aida64 for 3 hours 15mins and left it running but it had shut down by the time I got back. I'm guessing it blue screened at some point. I have now increased the cpu core voltage from the 1.215v as shown on the image to 1.220v, also turned my fans to run at full speed (I can live with the noise) I'm re running Aida64 as we speak. My question is, for how long should I run it to achieve a stable overclock for a cpu intensive flight simulation? I've seen some complex add on aircrafts for example FSLABS a320 use 100% cpu on some cores on Prepar3d. I also do some rendering every now and then. It's also important to note that I do on occasion simulate 10 to 15 hours flight. Unfortunately, I can't load all the images to try and paint a full picture but I hope those would do. Thanks for any help.
