Intel's HD 4000 overclock voltage - should I raise? lower?

[JohnQq]

Hey, so I managed to overclock my HD 4000 to 1500 MHz with only 85.9375 additional mV, and it's stable. I saw many topics and stuff saying they managed stable status @ 1500 MHz with 187 mV and more. Should I lower it more, or should I leave it as it is? 1.5859 V is the Graphics Voltage at 1500 MHz. Is it okay? (It's i5-3570k hd 4000)

Leave it if it's stable, but I'd really try to get a new system (or if you don't have a laptop (I'm assuming you do, considering this chip) get a new graphics card upgrade if your mobo and PSU supports it) because even with heavy overclocks, this chip is horrid for graphics processing in terms of gaming.

I have a PC (i5-3570K, z77 extreme4, 2x4gb ddr3 1866mhz patriot iem memory and 750W psu). I know I should get gpu, I was just wondering why I didn't overclock sooner. Horrible for gaming? Nah, everything works great for me. I play Path of Exile / CS:GO on 1920x1080 @ max settings (maybe not ULTRA but most options high for sure, except shadows).

Yeah, but games like Arma 3, BF4, Metro LL, Crysis 3, etc, aren't even going to run. Since you have a PC and a good processor, I'd recommend a Radeon R9-290 Tri-X and 16GB's of RAM. You'd be able to handle a lot more after that and only spend roughly $500.
