    Question Anyone run into this kind of issue with fans like this before?

    I had basically the same issue, down to the RPMs. I had the 3 preinstalled from the G500A, and got 4 more, 3 for the top, 1 for the back.

    What exactly qualifies as a "stable" overclock?

    I've seen some other answers, but just wanted some clarification. When exactly can you say that an overclock is stable? Have a i7 7700k that I've been messing around with. Been mostly using Prime95 v26.6 to test temps, decided to use it for quick stability tests as well. Just as an example...
