A couple of comments about my overclocking experiments mentioned the black arts of voltage tweaking and stuff like that, but I was working on a more superficial level, just playing with increasing clock and fan speeds and stability testing to take advantage of the headroom in my CPU and GPU. I'm sure I could go further with more aggressive tweaking, but I'm happy enough with where I ended up. If you're curious, I have an i5-3570 on an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 mobo with a Gigabyte GTX 970 video card, and at stock speeds (CPU @ 3.4 GHz burst) the system scored 9285 on the 3DMark FireStrike demo. Overclocking the CPU to around a 4.2 GHz burst brought that up to 9565 and pushing the 970's core up 140 MHz and the memory clock up an additional 280 MHz increased that score to 10227. Things are remaining stable, cool, and quiet with those settings, so I got about a 10 percent improvement for free. That's good timing, because my Oculus Rift should arrive today, and that initial 3DMark score is right at the minimum specs, so at least I've built up a little leeway there.
