Hey guys.
I just OC'd this cpu to 4.5 ghz with 1.232 core voltage and the temps go up to 75 degrees under heavy load.
So the question is should I go for less if there's no visible performance difference between say 4.2 ghz and 4.5 ghz?
Oh also I have corsair vengeance 16 gb ram DDR4 3000 mhz
Also what are some good clock speeds and voltage for this cpu?
Thanks.

Sorry too, I need to understand the distinction between a 3.8 GHz and 4.5 GHz stock clock speed and whether upgrading would be beneficial given that you mainly use your PC for gaming.
