Hi everyone.

I'm currently running an i7 4770k on a Asus ROG Hero VI motherboard (Z87)

As I'm new to overclocking I figured someone might help me a bit.
SO, here goes:
________________

-I have overclocked from 3,9ghz (turbo) to 4,4ghz.

-I have set the voltages to 1.175v on adaptive mode so that the volts go down when the system is on idle. (see pictures below)

Now my questions are:
A: How does the volts look? - Is it to low/high on idle/load. (see pictures below)
B: When overclocking, is it: the lower the volts the better? (while having a higher multiplier)
C: Is it even worth it? How high would you set your multiplier for it to matter.
(D: Please feel free to make other comments regarding this OC:) )


Worth mentioning is that I have a Corsair H100 installed running on low (1 out of 3 bars)
