I just got in my new Noctua NH-D15 so I naturally tried my first overclock.  I got 4.4 ghz at 1.25V.  I ran OCCT Linpax for 1 hour, 64bit.  I didn't check the use all logical cores box or the AVX capable linpack box.  The max temp that I got was 65C.  This is a really good temp, right?  Or am I doing something wrong?  I played the Witcher 3 for hours and my CPU never got over 51C.  I have an MSI R9 390 so that gets hot anyways.  I have an Asus Z97-A mobo.  I also just moved to a Corsair 780T case (WHICH IS AMAZING).  I have plenty of airflow.  I had an AIO on there before (Cooler Master Seidon 120V).  But I could only get 4.3 at 1.225V and the temps were 10C plus higher then also, even gaming.  Will someone with a little more experience than me give me some insight please?  It would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

These temps are perfectly fine.

 

Most CPU's go up to like 80 or 90 before thermal throttling, same with GPU's.

Those temps are actually below average for that test running that voltage

Can you help me push it higher? Suggestions?

Keep increasing the multiplier until unstable, then add some voltage to stabilize. If the temps aren't close to 85 under stress testing, then keep going
