I have to mention, this was with me watching a movie + afterburner open for tracking 1% lows, while having this running for an hour I had some visual hiccups but no issue with audio, some say this shouldn't happen? system responsiveness was ok-ish, had some mouse lag and slow performance during browsing, opening files/folders, all while cpu pegging at 100%. I tried to mix synthetic test with real world usage don't know if I'm supposed to do this or just leave the system alone.

Don't mind me I'm not trying to chase anything extreme or brag about scores, but I feel like my gflops are lower than others? I've seen ppl with a steady 480 for this cpu, mine can only get around 440.

I have my cpu at -15co, a +175hz overclock, scalar on auto and pbo limited to level 2 (max 80c limit).
