Overclocked AMD FX-8350

[CurseChain]

Hello, this is my first time posting on here and I am not entirely sure where this should go so I'll just post here.
I'm running AMD FX-8350 overclocked to 4.4, Vcore upped to 1.9V, using thermaltake Pro Water 3.0, motherboard is Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P, and PSU is Corsair CX600M ATX, I was just wondering if I am doing this whole overclocking thing correctly and also can I take it a tad higher or should I leave it where it is now? This is my current CPU status, http://postimg.org/image/yykzztyrd/

Thanks in advance.

If temps are lower than 70C on stress testing, you can take it higher, don't take VCore higher than 1.35V, current OC is good (if temps are fine). You should be able to get decent OCing results with the setup (current results are decent too).

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Highest temp during stress testing (Prime 95) is 55C but the Vcore is already at 1.392V and if I drop it down I always get faults with the stress test, no issues when I normally use the system though.
So should I drop it down or push to 4.5 with the same Vcore to -at least- put it to use?
Cheers.

55C is great. You can go all the way up to 70C (socket, not core). But yes, not with excessive VCore, 1.4V is not so good, and it must pass stress test even if you don't intend to do intensive tasks everyday. Try pushing it to 4.5Ghz with the least stable VCore, and if temps are fine, and VCore is not higher than 1.4V, you'll be fine.

Thanks will try and update the post after.
