Should I overclock my CPU more ?

Hey Guys,
 

I overclocked my CPU to 4.40GHz right now and the System is stable. The Temps look fine too.
Should I go higher with the overclock with the colling I have Right now ? Is the dark rock 3 enough to handle it ?

If temperatures are under control and voltages are under 1.4V, then sure!

You're the best person to know if your Dark Rock 3 can handle it, since you can monitor CPU temperatures yourself and see exactly what's happening.

If you can do it safely then go ahead as long as you can go back to the previous then no harm in trying! CPU life does lower a bit if you overclock so the more it lowers life a lot.
