Looks good! but keep in mind increasing the HT will not result in any performance gains (try to keep between 2000 and 2200mhz). Also your memory is running at less than stock speeds. See if you can tweak that.
Well the FSB increased it itself so I left it like that (didn't know it did nothing until now haha) and yeah I had to increase the timings for this 80 Mhz bump. I'm sure it's probably not worth just 80Mhz, but I'm just messing around and learning a bit cuz my setup seems to be a little weird. In a sense that, 3600Mhz isn't stable alone with just increasing the multiplier, but 3570Mhz is stable when increasing the FSB by 10 and increasing the RAM timings.
Edit: I feel like all of a sudden there is now something wrong with a temperature sensor or this old videocard I put in my pc temporarily is causing it. I also decided to move cables around in my pc and try negative pressure (opposed to the positive pressure it came with), but for better airflow and looks. Even my motherboard temp and CPU temp benefit from this, my Motherboard temp (found using HWiNFO64 while running prime95) is 26C lol. It use to be like, 33-35C load and 30-31C idle. Sounds a little good to be true. Now my CPU temp is 49C, which is around what it was with a positive airflow, 50-51C. Now the problem is... it jumps from like 48-43, then 43-38 when I stopped prime95. And the CPU temp jumped from 39-45C seconds after starting prime95. This doesn't sound normal.. I will have to put the fans back and turn on some temp logging without the videocard as well, to rule things out
Also, what is Temp3 in HWiNFO? I think it has to do with the CPU or something, it reads 58@ 100% load.
