Overclocking 4930K

Hi,

 

I want to overclock my 4930k, not heavily but to have better performance. 

 

 

1)

When I ran the Cinebench R15 without overclocking my 4930k was below

the 3930k - how come?

 

2) What is your Opinion on overclocking with AI Suite? I'm not experience withoverclocking. 

I used Auto Tuning and got to 4.3 Ghz and the Cinebench reults seemed to be better now.

Though the CPU is constantly hotter now and using constantly more Power is that normal,

even if the CPU is not used heavily?

 

3) In AI Suite II can you use Auto Tuning but still make some manual changes within

AI Suite II? 

 

Thanks for the help Cheers

Overclocking adds more volts to the cpu thus creating more heat.
