You said it man. And I am going to have to stop myself before I hurt something. Running stress on 4.9 and then I'm going back to defults. There's real no reason for me to be running that kind of OC. 

You're not going to run an OC? lol what?

well i mean i guess i could. but i dont do anything that requires that level of overclock. i feel like im putting unnecessary stress on the CPU

Your CPU will bottleneck your GPU, the OC helps tremendously with alleviating this problem. With a 390 and FX-6, you should run the highest OC you can get stable.

 

The temperature you are running are less than it would run stock with the stock cooler - there is no stress there. You're going to see favorable increase in frames with the OC (will depend on the game how much it is beneficial). 

 

Just FYI, I bottleneck my card in some games with the 8 core variant and a similar OC.

well then I'm gonna give it a try I suppose. crysis seems like a good test.

@Alexokan alright soo. tried twice. game froze after 15 or so mins. should I try bumping the voltage up a little more. still at 4.9 with 1.48V

I'd probably see if 4.8 is stable at that voltage first.
