My system has an OC Genie and is pushing my CPU to 4ghz, but I'm experiencing severe lag during any raids while playing. I believe the CPU is quite underpowered, and even at 4ghz it's causing major performance problems. Whenever I tweak settings to reach a 4.2 or 4.5 OC, my PC displays warnings from MSI or Windows. I've tried adjusting all minor settings without success. I'm currently seeing around 1-5 FPS during raids, which is really frustrating since I built this PC expecting top performance.
It's highly probable you'll encounter thermal throttling since you haven't specified a cooler, which is likely the stock one. Additionally, it might be unstable, which is why most users recommend overclocking manually instead of relying on software adjustments.
