I just overclocked my CPU and turned on XMP for my RAM. I wanted to know if this is safe and if I should change anything for more FPS/safety :)


Intel Core i5 6600K @ 3.50GHz
AMD Radeon (TM) R9 390 Series
MSI Z170A GAMING M5 (MS-7977) (U3E1)
Corsair cmk8gx4m2b3000c15     (Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4)

 


Below are screenshots of my BIOS.

 

I change my clock ratio to 47 from 35.
Enabled "Enhanced Turbo"
Turned on XMP with RAM

 

My PC temps have all been at a safe temperature.

 

I also got a 1109cb score before OC the CPU and turning on XMP.

Afterwards, I got a 1520cb. Is this good?

 

 

 

All in all, I would like to know if this is safe, if there is anything else I should change, and if I can squeeze anything else out of my PC :)

 

Thank youuuu

It's safe i think. Do the prime95 test for about 15-20minutes and monitor the temps, if they are okay then OC is good.
