Unigine valley + gtx 980

[sz0ty0l4]

Hello!
I built my first PC some weeks ago and i'm having pretty much fun with it. I just ran the unigine valley benchmark to see if everything is fine with my rig.
I used the Extreme HD preset, which means: 1920*1080, ultra quality and 8x AA

The result:
FPS: 69,1
Score: 2890
min FPS: 32
max FPS: 131

my pc:
i7-4790@3.6 ( non k version)
gtx 980 gigabyte wf3 ( i didn't manually overclock, just stock speed which gigabyte set )
asus z97-k
fsp raider 650w
8gb hyperx 1866mhz
and a cheap LG IPS 1080p monitor

temps: cpu: 45-50C gpu: when 100%usage its like maximum of 65-66C

I wait your opinions on my pc's result, ideas about what other similar benchmark should i try, and suggestions if i should try to overclock my gpu even tho my cpu is not overclockable and if yes, what clock speed / mem speed should i try?

That's about right for a GTX 980 😉

Other Benchmarks I would run would be Heaven becnhmark by uniengine as well.
Also Firestrike in 3dmark is also quite good.

As for overclocking. You can Google what to expect from your card overclocking wise, although you will not always get that.
On the average of what I've seen is about 1400mhz on 1.25v. Which is the stock volts of most GTX 980's.
I would use the basic overclocking method of little jumps to get up there still. Overclock say 50mhz at first, run a benchmark/GAME.
If it crashes go back down, if it's good go up. Take big steps at first then smaller steps such as 20mhz.

-happy overclocking.
