Hi,

I have my CPU OC'D to 4.1Ghz 1,32Voltage

System specifications:

CPU: Amd fx 6300 black edition 3,5ghz-4,1ghz turbo

Mothoerboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0

PSU: Corsair CX 600W V2 80+

Aftermarket cooler: Noctua Nh-D14

I play mostly Diablo 3 and it's a cpu intensive game from what i've heard. I wonder if I would push my CPU to 4,5ghz if i'll notice a difference? is my system enough for that?
 
Solution
If your cooler can handle the heat, then you can probably hit around 4.5GHz, granted it isn't a guarantee. It depends on the individual chip; some can overclock better than others.

Going from 4.1 to 4.5 is a little less than a 10% increase. I doubt it would be a noticeable difference.
