Everything is currently bone stock. CPU, GPU, RAM, and Voltages.
Just finished installing all the latest drivers, all my programs. and most of my games.

I think its time to get some stock benchmark scores before i do anything.

Hurry up and get that chip to 4.5+ ghz and skip the baby steps lol. You will notice a big jump in performance. For just benching though set your vcore to 1.55, watch your temps, and raise your multi as high as you can get it. I can bench at a 52x multi and some can go as high as 57x
