    Check in my sig. In the XM overclocking guide, the first section is for all CPU users and should allow you to get full turbo all the time :)

    None at all if you can keep your temps under control :) What are you using to stress your CPU?

    Games do not stress the CPU much at all.

    If anything, you should overclock the GPU as that will help games more than overclocking the CPU will...
